1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere cheese OR bag swiss cheese (6 ounces)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

CARAMELIZED ONION POTATO TART



Caramelized Onion Potato Tart image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large onion, sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large Russet potatoes, washed
2 to 3 tablespoons butter, broken into small pieces
Special equipment: parchment paper cut into large circle to fit saute pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until they are tender and brown all over.
  • Using a mandolin (or sharp knife), finely slice the potatoes into rounds (you can place them in a bowl with a wet towel over the top to stop them from going brown while you work). Place the potatoes into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. When ready, add the onions and toss to combine without breaking potatoes.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon water to the same pan the onions were cooked in and allow it to come to a bubble. Using layered paper towels, wipe the pan clean.
  • Add some extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and add the potatoes to the pan, making sure the potatoes are flat. Top with the diced butter.
  • Take a piece of parchment paper and fold in half. Find the middle of the parchment along the crease and hold in place with your finger. Taking the right side of the parchment, pull it towards the center and fold it straight down to create a diagonal edge. Fold the parchment in half to create a triangle. Place the pointed edge in the middle of the saute pan on top of the potatoes to find its radius. Make a marker of where the pan edge ends (or starts). At this point you can cut the parchment at this marker and open to reveal a circle.
  • Cover the potatoes with the parchment paper and press down. Drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over the top so it down burn and rub it in.
  • Place the pan into the oven on the top rack and bake for about 45 minutes.
  • When done remove from oven and run a knife around the edge to separate from the pan. Place a large plate on top of the saute pan and flip. Remove the saute pan. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into slices.

RATATOUILLE TART WITH CARAMELIZED ONION-TOMATO JAM



Ratatouille Tart with Caramelized Onion-Tomato Jam image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 Vidalia onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 Roma tomatoes, cored, seeded and roughly chopped (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
Flour, for dusting
1/2 to 3/4 cup Caramelized Onion-Tomato Jam
3 Roma tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 Japanese eggplant, sliced 1/4-inch thick on a mandoline
1 yellow squash, sliced 1/4-inch thick on a mandoline
1 zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick on a mandoline
1 to 2 roasted red peppers, julienned
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, divided
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • In a high-sided saute pan with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, season with the salt, cover and cook until they are wilted and soft, about 10 minutes. Remove the lid and cook the onions until they are golden and caramelized, stirring often, about 20 minutes more.
  • Stir in the garlic and saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook an additional 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stirring consistently, cook until the tomatoes breakdown and the jam becomes thick, about 20 minutes.
  • Yield: 3 cups
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll the puff pastry out on a floured surface to a rectangular shape, about 12 by 10 1/2 inches. Transfer the pastry sheet to a parchment-lined baking sheet. With the tines of a fork, dock a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the sheet and dock the center of the sheet a few times as well. This will prevent the dough from rising as it cooks.
  • Spread the Caramelized Onion-Tomato Jam evenly over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edge of the pastry. Layer the tomatoes, eggplant, yellow squash and zucchini in overlapping rows, or in whatever pattern you like. Sprinkle the roasted red peppers around the tart. Drizzle the assembled tart with a little olive oil, making sure to brush a little on the edges, season with salt and pepper and top with half of the fresh oregano.
  • Bake until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the goat cheese and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano before serving.

1 1/4 c ap flour
1 Tbsp cornstarch....plus 2 more teaspoons!
1/4 tsp salt
6 Tbsp butter, cold,diced in
1 egg
INSIDES:
2 large eggs
1 (7-8) oz marscapone cheese
1/2 c whipping cream
1/4 tsp white pepper
pinch ground nutmeg
1 c grated guyere cheese
1/3 c parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450F. Toss the cauliflower in the oil. Spread out onto a non stick baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 15, then flip. Cook 15 minutes more and remove from oven.
  • 2. In a good skillet, bring 1 1/2 tbps of good olive oil to a shimmer. Add thin sliced Vidalia onions, add in a pinch or two of salt and pepper and stir, stir, stir...for about 30 minutes until they turn a beautiful golden brown. Don't ignore those fronds.
  • 3. MAKE UP THAT DOUGH: I really hate working with pastry, but this was pretty harmless.
  • 4. I used a whisk: Flour, cornstarch, salt and butter. Then add in the egg. I lost my pastry blender in the move to the lower 48 and had to use a fork....gave that up quick and used my grandma's fingers to get the pea sized effect I needed.
  • 5. Smash that dough all together and roll it thin. Yes, I cheated and used plastic wrap as a medium. Transfer the dough to the tart pan and press in. Now lightly coat the dough with 1 TBSP Dijon mustard, bottom and sides.
  • 6. Layering the Stuff: After pressing in the tart dough and brushing the bottom and sides with dijon, add in the onions. Top with cauliflower.
  • 7. In a bowl, mix the eggs, marscapone, cream, white pepper, nutmeg and Guyere. Pour over the top of the tart. I had to use my hands to redistribute the cheesiness.
  • 8. Top with 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake 350F for 40 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the crust:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, chilled in the freezer for 1 hour
4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
Olive oil cooking spray
1 ¾ pounds small eggplants, peel and cut into ½-inch-thick rounds
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups thinly sliced red onions (about 3 large)
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
4 tomatoes (multiple colors if you can find them), cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
Fresh basil leaves, to garnish

Steps:

  • To make the crust, in a large bowl whisk together flour and salt. Add chilled olive oil and using clean hands or a fork, mix until the oil is incorporated and the mixture is the consistency of small peas. Add the ice water and mix until dough has just formed. Shaped into a 6-inch disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Heat the oven to 375 F. Coat a large baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Mist the eggplant rounds with cooking spray, then season both sides of each slice with salt and pepper. Arrange the eggplants slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until soft and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside. While the eggplant cooks, in a large saucepan over medium, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and saute until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and the thyme, then reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally so the onions don't burn, until very soft and browned, about another 30 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and remove from heat. Mist an 11-inch springform tart pan (or a tart pan with a removable bottom) with cooking spray. On a clean, floured surface using a floured rolling pin, roll the chilled dough into a 13-inch circle. Transfer the dough

CARAMELIZED ONION POTATO TART FROM TYLER FLORENCE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Caramelized Onion Potato Tart from Tyler Florence Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 8

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:
1 large onion, sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large Russet potatoes, washed
2 to 3 tablespoons butter, broken into small pieces
1 garlic clove, minced, optional
Parchment paper cut into large circle to fit saute pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until they are tender and brown all over. Using a mandolin (or sharp knife), finely slice the potatoes into rounds (you can place them in a bowl with a wet towel over the top to stop them from going brown while you work). Place the potatoes into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. When ready, add the onions and toss to combine without breaking potatoes. Add about 1 tablespoon water to the same pan the onions were cooked in and allow it to come to a bubble. Using layered paper towels, wipe the pan clean. Add some extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and add the potatoes to the pan, making sure the potatoes are flat. Top with the diced butter. Take a piece of parchment paper and fold in half. Find the middle of the parchment along the crease and hold in place with your finger. Taking the right side of the parchment, pull it towards the center and fold it straight down to create a diagonal edge. Fold the parchment in half to create a triangle. Place the pointed edge in the middle of the saute pan on top of the potatoes to find its radius. Make a marker of where the pan edge ends (or starts). At this point you can cut the parchment at this marker and open to reveal a circle. Cover the potatoes with the parchment paper and press down. Drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over the top so it down burn and rub it in. Place the pan into the oven on the top rack and bake for about 45 minutes. When done remove from oven and run a knife around the edge to separate from the pan. Place a large plate on top of the saute pan and flip. Remove the saute pan. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into slices.

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.

Tips:

  • Use a sturdy tart pan with removable bottom for easy slicing and serving.
  • To evenly caramelize the onions, cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • If the onions start to stick to the pan, add a splash of water or white wine.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in the filling for a more complex flavor. For example, you could use a combination of Gruyère, Parmesan, and goat cheese.
  • Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set, about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the tart cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This caramelized onion tart is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is perfect for a casual get-together or a special occasion. With its rich, flavorful filling and flaky crust, this tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
