Categories     Cheese     Onion     Tomato     Bake     Quick & Easy     Lunch     Summer     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (9-inch) prepared pie dough, thawed if frozen (not pie shells)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, very thinly sliced
6 oz crumbled goat cheese (1 1/3 cups)
1 lb plum tomatoes, thinly sliced crosswise
Garnish: fresh basil leaves
Special Equipment
a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; pie weights or raw rice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • If necessary, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into an 11-inch round and fit into tart pan. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang inward and press against side of pan to reinforce edge. Lightly prick bottom and sides with a fork.
  • Line tart shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in middle of oven until pastry is pale golden around rim, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove weights and foil and bake until golden all over, 8 to 10 minutes more. Cool in pan on a rack.
  • While tart shell is baking, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, then cook onion with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Spread onion over bottom of tart shell and top with 1 rounded cup goat cheese. Arrange tomatoes, slightly overlapping, in concentric circles over cheese. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil. Put foil over edge of crust (to prevent overbrowning).
  • Put tart pan on a baking sheet and broil tart about 7 inches from heat until cheese starts to brown slightly, 3 to 4 minutes.

CARAMELIZED, ONION, EGGPLANT AND TOMATO TART



CARAMELIZED, ONION, EGGPLANT AND TOMATO TART image

Categories     Pepper     Tomato     Vegetable     Appetizer     Brunch     Bake     Vegetarian     Lunch     Buffet     Basil     Healthy     Thyme

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

Tips:

  • Consider using store-bought puff pastry to save time.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes for a more complex flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes and onions beforehand to intensify their flavors.
  • Add herbs and spices to the tomato mixture for extra flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the tomatoes thinly and evenly.
  • Arrange the tomato slices in a circular pattern on the puff pastry.
  • Bake the tart until the pastry is golden brown and the tomatoes are tender.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature.
