Provided by Michelle

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
16 ounces white button mushrooms (thinly sliced)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
½ teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper (to taste)
¼ cup white wine (can substitute chicken or vegetable broth)
2 sheets puff pastry (thawed according to directions on package)
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (can substitute any variety of Swiss cheese)
1 egg + 1 tablespoon water (beaten together (for the egg wash))
Handful of parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the butter to the pan. Once melted, add the mushrooms and saute, stirring occasionally, until they are completely soft and all of the liquid evaporates, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and the thyme and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to pull up all of the browned bits, and cook until all of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.
  • Unfold the thawed sheets of puff pastry and cut out circles from the dough, placing them evenly spaced on the baking sheets. Using a very sharp knife, make four small scores around the perimeter of the dough, about ¼ to ½-inch from the edge.
  • Top the rounds of puff pastry with a small spoonful of the onion and mushroom mixture, trying to keep the filling within the score marks. Top with the shredded Gruyere cheese. Brush the edges of the dough rounds with the egg wash.
  • Bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 15 to 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

EASY TART WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, MUSHROOMS AND GRUYèRE



Easy Tart with Caramelized Onions, Mushrooms and Gruyère image

A savory tart topped with sweet caramelized onions and mushrooms and cut into appetizer-size pieces.

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Appetizer

Yield 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 TBSP. olive oil
1 TBSP. butter
2 med. yellow and/or red onions, thinly sliced
½ TBSP. brown sugar
2 TBSPS. Balsamic vinegar
--- --- sea salt & freshly ground pepper
8 oz. Cremini mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
1 TBSP. fresh thyme
2 sm. Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
1 tsp. fennel seeds, toasted and crushed (optional)
--- --- sea salt & freshly ground pepper
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (½ of a 17oz. package)
(defrosted & thawed according to directions on package)
4 oz. Gruyère cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil and the butter together, followed by the sliced onions. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the onions wilt and start to brown. At that point add the next three ingredients (sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper). Reduce the heat and cook gently, uncovered for about 20 more minutes or until the onions are completely caramelized. Add a little water if the onions look like they are drying out. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Remove the onions to a separate bowl.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the same pot and sauté (without oil) for a few minutes until they release their moisture. At that point, add a little olive oil and the thyme leaves and cook for a few minutes, stirring frequently. Once the mushrooms start lightly brown, add the sliced potatoes and the fennel seeds. Season everything with some salt and pepper and cook for a few more minutes, until the potatoes soften a little. Set the mixture aside to cool.
  • Unfold the thawed sheet of puff pastry and place it on a work surface. Roll it out into a 10"x14" rectangle and remove it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick with a fork every few inches to prevent the pastry from bubbling while it bakes. Using a very sharp knife, score the perimeter of the dough about ¼- to ½-inch from the edge.
  • Spread the cooled onions evenly over the puff pastry. Top with the sautéed mushrooms and potatoes and sprinkle with the Gruyère cheese. (Refrigerate if not baking immediately).
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the puff pastry on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and crust is nice and golden. Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes then cut it into 20 little rectangles. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CARAMELISED MUSHROOM TARTLETS



Caramelised mushroom tartlets image

Try these super-clever caramelised mushroom tartlets on those occasions when you're entertaining and need an exciting canapé, but could do without the faff

Provided by Orlando Murrin

Categories     Buffet, Canapes, Snack, Starter

Time 30m

Yield Makes 12 tartlets

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
250g chestnut mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
3-4 tbsp thyme leaves, finely chopped
butter, for spreading
12 slices of thin sliced white sandwich bread
100g grated gruyère or cheddar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a generous frying pan, add the onion and fry over moderate heat for about 7 mins until soft and golden. Stir in the sugar and seasoning, turn up the heat and add the mushrooms. Sizzle for 5 mins until you have driven off any moisture and the mushrooms are golden. Stir in the garlic for a few further mins, until fragrant, then turn off the heat and stir in most of the thyme (save some for sprinkling). The mushroom mix can be chilled at this point.
  • To make the tartlet bases, cut 7-8cm circles out of the bread using a cookie cutter or glass. Butter one side and stick buttered-side down into a 12-hole tartlet tin. Freeze any leftovers to make breadcrumbs.
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 220C/200 fan/gas 7. Divide the mushroom mixture between the tartlets and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Don't be too tidy about this - any cheese on the tin will form a lacy edge to the tartlets. Bake for 10-15 mins until golden and bubbling. Sprinkle over the reserved herbs and serve.

Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3 tablespoons cold, low-fat buttermilk
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced thinly into half moons
8 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms, such as cremini, oyster, shiitake

Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan and heat over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have released their water and begin to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the onions back to the pan, stir in the salt, pepper, mustard and thyme.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, egg whites and evaporated milk.
  • Sprinkle the cheese into the pie crust. Top with the mushroom-onion mixture and pour the egg mixture on top. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for 35 minutes or until knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into 6 wedges and serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any unnecessary scrambling.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife will make it much easier to slice your onions and mushrooms thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly and give your tartlets a more delicate texture.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the onions and mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam instead of caramelize.
  • Be Patient: Caramelizing onions takes time. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with undercooked onions that are more bitter than sweet.
  • Use a Good Quality Gruyère Cheese: The type of Gruyère cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your tartlets. Look for a cheese that is aged for at least 12 months and has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor.
  • Serve Warm: Tartlets are best served warm, when the cheese is melted and gooey. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave if necessary.

Conclusion:

These caramelized onion, mushroom, and Gruyère tartlets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a crispy, flaky crust, a rich and flavorful filling, and a gooey, melted cheese topping, these tartlets are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
