  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2        tablespoons  unsalted butter
  2 1/2    tablespoons  extra-virgin olive oil
  2             medium  white onions -- thinly sliced
                        Salt and freshly ground pepper
  2             medium  red bell peppers
  2                     Medjool dates -- pitted and sliced
  1         tablespoon  sesame seeds -- lightly toasted
     1/2      teaspoon  poppy seeds
  2              large  pocketless pita breads -- lightly toasted
     1/2           cup  all-purpose flour
     1/4         pound  Kasseri cheese -- sliced 1/4-inch thick and cut into sixteen   1/2-by-2-inch rectangles

In a deep, medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1 tablespoon
  of the oil. Add the onions and cook over high heat, stirring, until
softened,   about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderately low and cook,
stirring   occasionally, until browned, about 30 minutes; add a little
water to the pan   if the onions seem dry. Season with salt and pepper.  

Meanwhile, roast the bell peppers directly over a gas flame or under   the
 broiler until soft and charred all over. Transfer the peppers to a  
bowl, cover with plastic; let stand for 15 minutes. Peel, core and seed
the   peppers and cut them into 1/2-inch strips. In a bowl, toss the
peppers, dates,   sesame and poppy seeds with 1/2 tablespoon of the olive
oil. Season with salt   and pepper.  

Spread the onions on the pitas and top with the red pepper mixture.  
Quarter the pitas and arrange on a platter.   

Dredge the cheese in the flour and shake off any excess. In a medium  
nonstick skillet or grill pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter
in   the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Fry the cheese over moderately
high heat,   turning once, until golden, 4 minutes. Top each tart with 2
pieces of fried   cheese and serve.
