ROASTING THE CAULIFLOWER. PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 425. BAKE THIS FOR 15 MINUTES. TURN THE CAULIFLOWER OVER AND ROAST ANOTHER 15 MINUTES. TAKE OUT AND LET COOL
1 small head cauliflower, clean and slice. separate into 1" slices.
3 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp truffle oil (i used white truffle oil)
salt and pepper to taste
CARAMELIZING THE ONIONS
1 large onion (use vidalia if possible) cut in half and slice thin.
1 1/2 Tbsp good olive oil
TART DOUGH:
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.

The crust was a bit soggy. I think I would have cooked it for a few minutes longer.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less caramelized onions.
