Rosemary Onion Tart

Rosemary Onion Tart

Caramelized onions and gooey fontina cheese are a match made in heaven.   Fresh rosemary and parsley give this tart complexity of flavor and a touch of green color.  Store-bought puff pastry makes this elegant dish a cinch to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 3 medium red onions
  • 3 medium white onions
  • 1 leek, sliced crosswise (reserve greens for other uses)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 5 sprigs fresh rosemary; 2 for submerging, 3 for roasting
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1/3 cup Fontina cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup fresh Italian parsley, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Thinly slice 1 red & 1 white onion. Saute onion & leek in olive oil over medium high heat, covered, until soft, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Cool 5 minutes; add cream and submerge 2 fresh Rosemary sprigs under creamed onions. Cover and set aside.
  4. Trim remaining onions and cut each into 6 sections, keeping wedges intact.
  5. Place on baking sheet, top with 3 fresh Rosemary sprigs and roast 20 minutes.
  6. In the meantime, roll out puff pastry sheet into 13 x 3 rectangle, fold over edges 1/4 inch and crimp with a fork. Transfer to baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Spread creamed onion mixture evenly overall. Arrange roasted onion wedges on top, evenly add Fontina cheese and bake 15 minutes.
  8. Top with Parsley and serve in squares.
