Broccoli Potato Onion And Blue Cheese Tart Recipes

POTATO AND CARAMELIZED ONION TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Prepare the pie crust according to package instructions. Flatten into a disk and chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat, heat the canola oil. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• In the meantime, using the slicing blade attachment of a food processor, or with a box grater, slice half the potato into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Place in cold water to avoid browning. (Reserve the remaining half of potato for another use, such as Round 2 Recipe Open Faced Roast Pork and Onion Sandwich.)
• In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Italian seasoning, mustard and season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the pie crust from the fridge and roll into a 12-inch round about 1/4-inch thick. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the cream cheese mixture in an even layer over the pie crust, making sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edge.
• Dry the potatoes thoroughly and place an even layer on top of the cream cheese, overlapping slightly to fit and keeping 1/2-inch from the edge of the cream cheese. Over the top of the potatoes place an even layer of caramelized onions. (Reserve 1/2 cup of the onions for another use, such as Round 2 Recipe Open Faced Roast Pork and Onion Sandwich.) Fold over the edges of the crust to create a 1-inch-wide border around the tart filling.
• Bake until the crust is golden and the potatoes are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

FRENCH ONION AND BLUE CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Start by cooking the onions. They need to be cooked slowly on low heat, so it's best to begin with those.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick frying pan-we have a load of onions to cook. When the butter has melted, pick off the thyme leaves and add, then add the garlic and onions. Mix everything together.
• Now add the pepper, salt, and sugar and mix. Cook on medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until you have onions that look like the kind you would only eat with a burger in a Sunday market at 6 a.m.!
• While that cooks, start on the pastry. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with some parchment paper or use the paper the pastry comes in and roll out the pastry onto the sheet.
• Using a knife, score a smaller rectangle ½ inch/1cm inside the pastry rectangle, making sure not to cut all the way through. Pierce the inner rectangle with a fork all over to allow the steam to escape when it bakes.
• Brush the edges with the egg and bake for 20 minutes, until golden all over.
• Take out and, using the back of a spoon, push down all the puffed-up pastry of the inner rectangle, creating a nice neat border.
• Take the blue cheese and crumble all over the inner rectangle of the pastry. Add the onions and scatter them all over till you have an even layer. Now bake for 15 minutes.
• Take out and let cool for 10 minutes before eating, sprinkled with the chives.
