FRENCH ONION TART

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed in refrigerator
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 large Vidalia onions or other sweet variety, thinly sliced
4 thyme sprigs, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/3 cup good quality beef stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • On a work surface, roll the puff pastry into a roughly 10 by 16-inch rectangle. With a sharp knife, trim uneven edges to make a perfect rectangle. Evenly cut off the outer 1 inch of each side of the rectangle in strips; put the puff sheet on the baking sheet. Dip your finger in water and run around the top edges of the rectangle and replace the removed strips of pastry along the edges of the sheet, pressing lightly to adhere. With a fork, pierce the interior of the tart shell to prevent rising; do not pierce the adhered edges. Bake until the outer edges have puffed and are golden in color; about 15 minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and thyme sprigs and season well with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to brown. Add the stock, a tablespoon at a time, as the pan gets dry, scraping and stirring the brown bits that are stuck to the bottom oft the pan. When the onions are caramelized to a dark golden color, remove from the heat and discard the leafless thyme sprigs (the leaves fall off while cooking).
  • When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Evenly spread the caramelized onions on the cooked pastry shell and heat in the oven until warmed through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven, to a cutting board and cut into wedges. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish each wedge with a sprig of fresh thyme. Serve immediately and enjoy!

ONION PHYLLO PIE



Onion Phyllo Pie image

Provided by Jonathan Reynolds

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large sweet onions
2 large red onions
1/2 cup peanut oil
1 large hot red chili, seeded and finely chopped
Grated zest of 3 limes
1 stalk lemongrass, trimmed and finely chopped
3/4 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
10 to 14 sheets phyllo dough

Steps:

  • Peel all the onions and cut in half lengthwise. Thinly slice them lengthwise so that many pieces stay together at the root end.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook until wilted, about 7 minutes. Add the chili, lime zest and lemongrass and sauté until the onions are tender but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut. Season with salt and pepper and cool slightly.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Blend the remaining oil and the soy sauce and brush some over the inside of an 8-inch pie plate. Place a sheet of phyllo over the plate and press lightly to line the bottom and sides. Brush with the oil-soy sauce mixture. Place another sheet of phyllo on top of the first one at an angle and brush with the oil-soy sauce mixture. Continue, using enough phyllo to cover the sides of the plate without any gaps, saving 2 sheets for the top.
  • Spoon the onion mixture into the pastry shell and fold the pastry over the filling. Brush with the oil-soy sauce mixture. Fold 1 sheet of phyllo in half and place it on top, crimping and tucking it in on the sides. Brush with the oil-soy sauce mixture. Repeat with the last sheet of pastry. Score the top in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly.

RED ONION TART



Red Onion Tart image

Sweet red onion and roasted piquillo peppers flavor a creamy custard baked in a lemon-infused yeast dough base.

Provided by Syd

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs

Time 2h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 pinch white sugar
½ cup warm water
1 egg, at room temperature
3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons lemon zest
½ teaspoon vegetable oil
½ red onion, sliced
1 cup shredded Gouda cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 jarred roasted piquillo peppers, diced
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
2 eggs
1 ½ cups heavy cream
¼ teaspoon stone-ground mustard

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over 1/2 cup of warm water in a large bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Beat in 1 egg and butter. Gently stir in the flour, salt, and lemon zest until the dough has pulled together. Gather the dough into a ball, then place in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn dough ball to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Punch down the dough, and place in a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Spread dough out from the center using fingers. The dough should be thinner in the center and thicker at the edges. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle chilled tart shell with Gouda and Parmesan cheeses. Arrange the cooked onion and piquillo peppers decoratively over the cheese. Beat 2 eggs and heavy cream with the mustard in a bowl; pour egg mixture over the onion and cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the custard has set, 30 to 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use the right kind of onions: Sweet onions, like Vidalia or Walla Walla, are best for this recipe. They have a milder flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly: This will bring out their natural sweetness and give them a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't crowd the pan when cooking the onions: If you do, they won't caramelize properly.
  • Use a good quality phyllo dough: This will make a big difference in the final product. Look for dough that is fresh and not too dry.
  • Brush the phyllo dough with butter before baking: This will help it to crisp up and brown.
  • Serve the tarts warm: They are best when they are fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

These sweet onion phyllo tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. The caramelized onions are sweet and savory, and the goat cheese adds a creamy, tangy flavor. The phyllo dough is crispy and flaky, and it holds everything together perfectly. If you are looking for a new and exciting appetizer recipe, give these tarts a try. You won't be disappointed.
