FIG TART WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, ROSEMARY AND STILTON



Fig Tart With Caramelized Onions, Rosemary and Stilton image

I used packaged puff pastry here because I thought the dense, almost candied figs would work well with an airy, flaky crust - one that I didn't have to make. The cheese and rosemary helps balance the intensity of the figs, while a drizzling of honey at the end brings out the sweetness of onions and figs.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large onions (1 1/2 pounds), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 sprig rosemary, more for garnish
Pinch sugar
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
Flour for dusting
3/4 pound prepared puff pastry
1 pint fresh figs (3/4 pound), stemmed and cut in half lengthwise
1 1/2 ounces Stilton cheese, crumbled (about 6 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons pine nuts
Good-quality honey for drizzling, optional

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over low heat, melt butter with oil. Add onions, rosemary and sugar. Cook, tossing occasionally, until onions are limp and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, scraping any browned bits from bottom of pan.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until smooth. Stir in the onions. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line an 11 by 17-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to a 9 by 12-inch rectangle. Transfer to baking sheet.
  • Use a fork to spread onion mixture evenly over pastry (let excess egg mixture drip back into bowl), leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange figs, cut-side up, in even rows on onion mixture. Scatter cheese and pine nuts over figs. Use a pastry brush to dab edges of tart with egg mixture. Gently fold over edges of tart to form a lip and brush with more egg mixture.
  • Bake until pastry is puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with rosemary needles and drizzled with honey, if desired, warm or at room temperature.

CARAMELIZED ONION, FIG & GRUYERE TART WITH FRESH THYME



Caramelized Onion, Fig & Gruyere Tart with Fresh Thyme image

Rich, sweet caramelized onions, the sweet bite of fig jam, and pungent thyme go oh-so perfectly together in this easy savory tart made on store-bought puff pastry. It's a vegetarian-friendly addition to any holiday party menu, but meat-eaters won't be able to keep their mitts off of it either.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed in the refrigerator)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 large yellow onions (halved and cut into thin slices)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (minced)
1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable broth
1/3 cup fig jam
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
Additional fresh thyme leaves for garnishing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Lay thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and roll until approximately 10" wide and 16" long. Carefully transfer puff pastry to a baking sheet. Trim edges if desired for a neater look, and prick the pastry several times with a fork.
  • Bake the puff pastry sheet for about 10 minutes until puffed and golden. Remove from oven.
  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil and butter until melted. Add the onions and saute, stirring occasionally, until soft, golden brown, and caramelized, about 40 minutes. Add thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, and vegetable broth to the onions and continue to cook over medium-low heat for about five minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
  • Carefully spread 1/3 cup fig jam over the puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Evenly spread the onions over the top, then sprinkle with the Gruyere cheese.
  • Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 - 5 more minutes or until the cheese melts.
  • Garnish with additional thyme leaves and serve immediately. This tart may be made several hours ahead and reheated before serving, but I recommend baking it right before serving, otherwise the pastry gets a tad soggy.

FIG & BLUE CHEESE TART



Fig & blue cheese tart image

This extra special tart with crumbly walnut pastry makes a fabulous vegetarian dinner

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Lunch, Main course

Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

200g plain flour , plus a little extra for rolling pastry
100g plain wholemeal flour
175g cold butter , 150g diced into chunks
100g walnut , roughly chopped in a food processor
3 eggs , plus 2 yolks
400g shallot , sliced
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, plus extra to decorate
200ml pot crème fraîche
200ml double cream
140g blue cheese - Danish Blue is a good vegetarian one
3-4 figs , halved, cut sides brushed with a little oil

Steps:

  • First make the pastry. Tip the flours into a food processor with ½ tsp salt and the diced butter. Pulse until you can't feel any lumps, then tip in the walnuts. Mix the egg yolks with 3 tbsp cold water, then dribble this into the machine while you pulse again until the pastry comes together. Tip the pastry out onto a floured surface, lightly bring it together into a ball, then roll out and line a deep 20-23cm tart tin with overhang. The pastry may crack, but just patch it back together, then cover and chill for 1 hr.
  • To make the filling, melt the remaining butter in a large pan, then add the shallots and soften for 10-15 mins, until golden and squishy. Stir in the thyme for 1 min, then remove from the heat. Beat the eggs in a jug with the crème fraîche and cream. Crumble in the cheese and season with pepper and a small amount of salt.
  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Blind bake the pastry for 20 mins, remove the baking beans and paper, then bake for a further 15-20 mins until golden and sandy. Reduce the oven temp to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Add the cooled onions to the cream mixture and pour into the case. Sit the fig halves on top, cut side up, sprinkle with some more thyme and bake on the middle shelf for 1 hr-1hr 10 mins until the tart is browning and has a slight wobble - the cheese middle will firm up on sitting. Cool for about 15-20 mins, then remove from tin and serve with a green salad.

CARAMELIZED ONION & BLUE CHEESE PUFF PASTRY TARTS RECIPE



Caramelized Onion & Blue Cheese Puff Pastry Tarts Recipe image

Provided by charlotteh371

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package puff pastry (thawed in the fridge overnight)
4 large yellow onions (halved, then thinly sliced)
2 teaspoons butter
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon dry white wine
Kosher salt
fresh cracked pepper
1 egg + 1 teaspoon water, beaten
3/4 cup fig jam
5 oz. blue cheese (crumbled)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
honey for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and and stir to coat in oil. Grab a glass of wine and a magazine and plop yourself in front of the stove because you are going to be here for a while. You will cook the onions for 60 minutes total, stirring every 4-5 minutes or so. After they've cooked for 10 minutes add a pinch of salt. After they've cooked for 40 minutes add a teaspoon of sugar. After they've finished cooking for 60 minutes and are a gorgeous dark brown color, deglaze the pan with the white wine, season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unwrap the puff pastry and cut along the seams of each sheet, creating 6 rectangles total. Lightly flour your work surface and roll each piece into a 3.5″ x 12″ rectangle. Use a 3″ cookie cutter to make four tarts out of each rectangle. Transfer tarts to (2) parchment lined baking sheets. Combine puff pastry scraps into a ball, roll them out to the same thickness as your previous tarts and use the cookie cutter to make 10-12 more tarts. Arrange tarts on the two baking sheets about an inch apart. You will have 30-32 tarts total. Use a 2″ cookie cutter to score each tart in the center, creating a half inch wide crust. Brush the crust portion of the tart with the egg wash. Heat fig jam in a small saucepan over medium heat just until it becomes loose and spreadable. Spread a teaspoon or so of fig jam in the center of each tart. Top that with a teaspoon or so of caramelized onions. And then, you guessed it, top that with a teaspoon or so of blue cheese. Divide thyme evenly between the tarts, sprinkling a few leaves in the center of each tart. Bake tarts for 15-18 minutes or until the crust starts to get dark golden brown Remove tarts from the oven and drizzle with honey. Serve warm and enjoy! NOTES These tarts are also delicious at room temperature!
