Delicious Caramelized Onion Tart featuring Gorgonzola and Brie for a delightful appetizer.
Equipment
- Large deep pan
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
Ingredients
Base
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cups sliced onions sliced root-to-top into ¼-inch thick slices (about 2 to 3 medium onions)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 8 ounces frozen puff pastry defrosted a couple hours in the fridge
- 2 ounces chilled brie cheese rind removed and diced
- 2 ounces Gorgonzola or other blue cheese diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
Instructions
Method
- Heat oil in a large deep pan on medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for about 10 minutes or until wilted and starting to brown. Add sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat and cook gently, uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes or until richly caramelized. Add a little water if the onions look like they are starting to dry out. Cool.
- Preheat the oven at 400°F.
- Roll pastry into a 10-to-14-inch rectangle and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick with a fork at a couple inch increments to prevent big bubbles while baking.
- Spread onions over pastry, all the way to the edges of the pastry. Dot with cheese and sprinkle with tarragon. Refrigerate if not baking immediately.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until cheese has melted and pastry is crispy. Cool for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges or squares and enjoy.
