Ingredients

- 1 pound chorizo* (I used beef chorizo)

- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup manchego cheese, shredded
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (measured as leaves removed from thyme sprigs)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, as the puff pastry package instructs.
- Brown the chorizo in a pan over medium heat, using a spatula to break the chorizo into small pieces. It should take around 5-7 minutes to cook through. Remove from heat and spread over paper towels until ready for use to remove excess grease.
- Unroll the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 9 squares. Brush with melted butter. Divide the puff pastry squares between two large baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. They should be puffed up at this point, but pale-ish in color. Remove from oven, but leave the oven on.
- Put a divet in the center of each square with a spoon, keeping the sides intact so that it can hold the filling.
- Sprinkle equal amounts cheddar cheese, cubed apples, chorizo, and manchego cheese (in that order) onto each square, then top each with a few fresh thyme leaves.
- Return to oven and cook for another 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tarts are golden and crispy at the edges.
- Let cool for a minute, then dig in.
Notes
- *Use crumbly chorizo. You don't want to use anything too greasy or soupy for this recipe.
