Caramelised Onion Puff Pastry Tart Food

CARAMELISED ONION PUFF PASTRY TART

Steps:

• Finely slice the onions, then put them in a large, lidded pan with the oil and cook over a low heat for 30 mins, stirring from time to time.
• Remove the lid and turn up the heat, cooking the onions until they brown and caramelise, stirring often.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Unroll the pastry and place on a greased baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, cut a 2cm border around the edge of the pastry, going almost but not quite through the pastry. Glaze the edge of the pastry with beaten egg.
• Spread the mustard over the base of the tart and pile on the onions, spreading them out to meet the edge. Mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and thyme leaves together, and sprinkle this topping evenly over the onions. Bake the tart for 18-20 mins or until the pastry is golden brown.

COURGETTE & CARAMELISED RED ONION TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry out to slightly smaller than an A4 rectangle. Slide onto a baking tray, brush with the beaten egg and cook for 20 mins or until golden.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Once foaming, add the onions with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring regularly, for 10 mins until soft. Pour in the balsamic and cook for a further 6-8 mins until sticky and caramelised.
• Spoon over the pastry, then top with the courgette ribbons and blobs of goat's cheese. Return to the oven for 15 mins until the cheese is bubbling. Serve with salad.

CARAMELIZED FRENCH ONION TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large sauce pan, melt the butter on medium heat.
• Add the onions, white wine, sugar, thyme, salt and pepper and cook the onions until softened and golden brown.
• While the onions are caramelizing, combine the Ricotta cheese and egg in a small bowl and set aide.
• Unfold puff pastry sheets on a a large cookie sheet making sure both sheets connect in the middle of the pan. Gently fold in each side of the puff pastry sheets approximately 1 inch.
• Spread the Ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry and lightly sprinkle most of the Parmesan cheese on top. Reserve some to sprinkle on top of the onions.
• Add the caramelized onions evenly over the cheese mixture and top the tart off by sprinkling any remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Bake for 30 minutes until puff pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
• Cut into small pieces for appetizers or bigger pieces to eat as a main dish.
• Enjoy!
