Categories     Milk/Cream     Onion     Bake     Cocktail Party     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Chive     Gourmet

Yield Makes 12 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups very thinly sliced onion (about 2 onions)
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons water
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie shell (from a 15-ounce package)
3 tablespoons crème fraîche at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives
Special Equipment
a 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter; a mini-muffin pan with 12 (1/8-cup) muffin cups

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Cook onion, butter, water, salt, and pepper, covered, in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, 10 minutes. Remove lid and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is deep golden brown and very tender, about 25 minutes.
  • While onion cooks, roll out dough to slightly less than 1/8 inch thick. Cut out 12 rounds with cutter and lightly press each into a mini-muffin cup. Bake until pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove tartlet shells from muffin pan.
  • Stir together crème fraîche and chives and divide among shells, then top with caramelized onions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are best for caramelizing, as they have a higher sugar content than red onions.
  • Slice the onions thinly and evenly: This will help them caramelize evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the onions from burning.
  • Cook the onions over low heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and develop a deep flavor.
  • Stir the onions frequently: This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Add a little bit of water or broth: This will help the onions caramelize more evenly and prevent them from becoming too dry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many onions to the pan, they will not caramelize properly.
  • Be patient: Caramelizing onions takes time. It can take up to 45 minutes to get them to the perfect golden brown color.
  • Use caramelized onions as a topping for burgers, pizza, pasta, or even ice cream: They add a delicious sweet and savory flavor to any dish.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are easy to make, but they do take some time. By following the tips in this recipe, you can make perfect caramelized onions every time.
