Ingredients
- Puff pastry
- 1 sheet, thawed
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Onions
- 3 large, thinly sliced
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup
- Eggs
- 3 large
- Blue cheese
- 4 ounces, crumbled
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to fit a tart pan, then gently press it into the pan, trimming any excess pastry at the edges.
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the prepared puff pastry.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the onions in the tart pan, ensuring an even distribution.
- Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese generously on top of the tart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tart is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- For a twist, add sautéed spinach or mushrooms to the caramelized onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Substitute the blue cheese with goat cheese or feta for a milder taste.
- Serve with a side of mixed greens dressed lightly with balsamic vinaigrette to balance the richness of the tart.
