Step 1

Wine recommendation: The gold- medal-winning 2007 Boutari Moschofilero is pale yellow with aromas of melon citrus and honeysuckle. Its crisp acidity is a fantastic pairing with the phyllo.

Step 2

Over moderate heat, melt 1/4 cup butter in a skillet; when it bubbles, stir in onions. Cover and cook about 10 minutes, stirring frequently so onions become soft and caramelized. Add sugar if you want a more pronounced caramel flavour. Remove to cool.

Step 3

Place cheese and yogurt in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 300 F. Lightly brush a bit of butter on a non-stick muffin tray; set aside. Brush each pastry sheet with the 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter.

Step 5

Cut pastry into six 3-by-3-inch squares. Insert phyllo squares into muffin cups and bake in preheated oven 2 to 4 minutes or until golden.

Step 6

To serve, place 1/2 tablespoon caramelized onions in each tartlet; top with whipped feta; garnish with dehydrated beetroot or apple slices.
