Caramelized Onion And Mushroom Tartlets Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION, MUSHROOM & GRUYERE TARTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Heat the olive oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize, about 20 minutes.
• Add the butter to the pan. Once melted, add the mushrooms and saute, stirring occasionally, until they are completely soft and all of the liquid evaporates, about 20 minutes.
• Add the garlic and the thyme and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to pull up all of the browned bits, and cook until all of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.
• Unfold the thawed sheets of puff pastry and cut out circles from the dough, placing them evenly spaced on the baking sheets. Using a very sharp knife, make four small scores around the perimeter of the dough, about ¼ to ½-inch from the edge.
• Top the rounds of puff pastry with a small spoonful of the onion and mushroom mixture, trying to keep the filling within the score marks. Top with the shredded Gruyere cheese. Brush the edges of the dough rounds with the egg wash.
• Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 15 to 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND MUSHROOM TARTLETS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll dough on work surface (if using crescent rolls, pinch seams to seal); cut into 24 (2-inch) squares. Press 1 square in bottom and up side of each of 24 ungreased mini muffin cups.
• In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and thyme; cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 6 to 9 minutes, stirring constantly, until onions are caramelized. Stir in brown sugar and wine; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until liquid is gone. Stir in mushrooms. Spoon about 1 tablespoon onion-mushroom mixture into each cup. Top with walnuts and cheese.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove tartlets from pan immediately. Serve warm.

CARAMELISED MUSHROOM TARTLETS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a generous frying pan, add the onion and fry over moderate heat for about 7 mins until soft and golden. Stir in the sugar and seasoning, turn up the heat and add the mushrooms. Sizzle for 5 mins until you have driven off any moisture and the mushrooms are golden. Stir in the garlic for a few further mins, until fragrant, then turn off the heat and stir in most of the thyme (save some for sprinkling). The mushroom mix can be chilled at this point.
• To make the tartlet bases, cut 7-8cm circles out of the bread using a cookie cutter or glass. Butter one side and stick buttered-side down into a 12-hole tartlet tin. Freeze any leftovers to make breadcrumbs.
• When ready to bake, heat oven to 220C/200 fan/gas 7. Divide the mushroom mixture between the tartlets and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Don't be too tidy about this - any cheese on the tin will form a lacy edge to the tartlets. Bake for 10-15 mins until golden and bubbling. Sprinkle over the reserved herbs and serve.

CARAMELIZED ONION, MUSHROOM AND GOAT CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a mandolin or super-sharp knife, cut onion into paper thin slices. Clean and slice the mushrooms.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and saute until caramelized. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and saute until they release all their liquid and most of it boils away, should take about 5 minutes. Combine caramelized onions with mushrooms and saute together briefly; season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from heat.
• Unfold puff pastry onto a floured surface; cut in half lengthwise to form 2 long rectangles. Gently roll out each rectangle to approximately 5 by 14 inches and place on cookie sheet. Trim edges by 1/4-inch strips all around; set strips aside. Break 1 egg into a small bowl; beat slightly. Brush edges of pastry with some of the egg. Use trimmed strips to make a raised border on each. Brush entire surface with remaining beaten egg. Prick the interior of pastry all over with a fork. Bake until pale gold, about 10 minutes. If pastry has puffed up inside edge, press it down gently. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine remaining eggs with 6 ounces goat cheese and blend until smooth. Spread the mixture onto pastry. Return to oven and bake just until set, about 4 minutes. Add the thyme to the mushroom mixture. Remove cookie sheet from oven and spread with thyme-mushroom mixture. Crumble remaining cheese on top. Just before serving, broil tarts on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until tarts are warm and cheese softens.

MUSHROOM AND CARAMELIZED ONION TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the flour, butter and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to break up butter into little pieces... mixture should resemble coarse corn meal. With the machine running, add the water a tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together when squeezed. Gather the dough together and form into a rectangle. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one half an hour.
• In the mean time, heat the butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the mushrooms, stir to coat, spread out in the pan and allow to cook, undisturbed for a couple of minutes. Stir once and redistribute, continue cooking in this same manor until mushrooms are golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Add onions to the same sauté pan; add additional olive oil is necessary. Sauté until caramelized well, season with thyme, salt and pepper.
• Divide pastry in half. Roll each piece of pastry into long strips, about 4 inches by 8 inches. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and crimp the edge of the dough to create a rim. Cover the tart with parchment and fill with beans. Bake 15 minutes, remove the parchment and beans and bake another 5 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
• Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread half of the cheese and half of the onions and half of the mushrooms on each tart. Bake for 15 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes.
• To serve, cut each tart in half length wise and then into 6 equal pieces. Arrange on a serving plate.
