FOR THE CRUST:
1-1/4 cup All Purpose Flour Plus Extra For Rolling Out The Dough
1 teaspoon Salt
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Chilled
4 Tablespoons Light Butter, Chilled
1/2 cups Ice Water
FOR THE FILLING:
1 whole Shallot, Diced
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
6 ounces, weight Low Fat Goat Cheese
1/4 cups Part-skim Ricotta Cheese
2 Tablespoons Fat-free Half-and-half
2 Tablespoons Low Fat Milk
1 Tablespoon Fresh Basil, Chopped
1 Tablespoon Fresh Chives, Chopped
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1
To form the crust, combine the flour, salt and butters in a food processor. Pulse a few times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With the machine running, slowly pour in the water until a dough ball forms. Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2
When ready, remove the dough ball from the plastic and cut into four equal pieces. On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball and place in individual tart pans. You can also make one large tart or fun shapes and toppers.
3
To make the filling, saute the shallot and garlic in the olive oil until soft and translucent. Allow to cool. Combine the goat cheese, ricotta, half-and-half, milk, herbs and seasoning in a bowl and mix well. Add the cooled shallot/garlic mixture and combine.
4
Pour the mixture evenly into the tart shells and bake in a preheated 350u00b0F oven for approximately 45 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned and the mixture has set.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
