Caramelized Onion Mustard Tart Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic. Season to taste with salt & pepper and cook for 30 minutes, stirring often, until golden. Take off heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 200°C Line a pie pan or loose bottomed tart tin with the pastry/pie crust. Line with greaseproof paper (wax paper) and fill with beans and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and beans and cook for another 10 minutes until golden.
• Lower the oven temperature to 180°C In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks, mustard and cream. Stir in the onions and the chopped mint.

CARAMELISED ONION TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Slide a baking sheet in to heat. Roll the pastry out enough to line a deep 20cm flan tin or a shallow 23cm one. Chill for 10 mins.
• Put a few balls of crumpled foil in the base of the pastry case and bake on the baking sheet for 10 mins. Remove the foil and bake for 5 mins more, until light golden.
• Meanwhile, cook the onions in the oil until starting to soften, then add thyme, pepper, and salt if you want to. Cook slowly for about 15 mins until the onions are soft and tinged brown.
• Beat the eggs, beat in the milk and half the cheese and some pepper. Spread the onions over the flan case and pour in the egg mix. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake the tart on the baking sheet for 30-40 mins until the filling is firm and golden, and the pastry crisp. Serve warm or cold.
