Sweet Onion Tart

© NickYoung

Having a background in traditional (ie: meat filled!) cooking I find I that have a hard translating my knowledge to vegetarian cooking. For instance, I've been racking my brain trying to think of a veggie pie or tart.

In the near future I plan to try a veggie pot pie.

However, in the meantime I came up with this sweet onion tart recipe, I hope you enjoy it!

1 sheet puff pastry (Pepperidge Farm, or other brand)
2 medium yellow onion
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup red wine
6 ozs Gruyere cheese (I used Jarlsberg)
2 ozs Dijon mustard (approx.)
1 clove of garlic
A splash of olive oil

Thinly slice the onion and sauté in the olive oil with the garlic. Add the sugar and red/white wine and reduce the liquid is all gone and the onions have caramelized.

Lay out the puff pastry onto a greased cookie and thinly smear with the mustard. Spread the caramelized onions over the muster and top with the cheese. Pinch over the edges and place into a 375ºF oven.

The tart is done when the cheese is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
