Onionphyllotart Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• On a work surface, roll the puff pastry into a roughly 10 by 16-inch rectangle. With a sharp knife, trim uneven edges to make a perfect rectangle. Evenly cut off the outer 1 inch of each side of the rectangle in strips; put the puff sheet on the baking sheet. Dip your finger in water and run around the top edges of the rectangle and replace the removed strips of pastry along the edges of the sheet, pressing lightly to adhere. With a fork, pierce the interior of the tart shell to prevent rising; do not pierce the adhered edges. Bake until the outer edges have puffed and are golden in color; about 15 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions and thyme sprigs and season well with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to brown. Add the stock, a tablespoon at a time, as the pan gets dry, scraping and stirring the brown bits that are stuck to the bottom oft the pan. When the onions are caramelized to a dark golden color, remove from the heat and discard the leafless thyme sprigs (the leaves fall off while cooking).
• When ready to serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Evenly spread the caramelized onions on the cooked pastry shell and heat in the oven until warmed through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven, to a cutting board and cut into wedges. Arrange on a serving platter and garnish each wedge with a sprig of fresh thyme. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onions and sugar. Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until the onions are golden brown, stirring frequently. Stir in water and bouillon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese., Melt remaining butter. Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; brush with butter. Brush to distribute evenly. Repeat with a second sheet; brush with butter. Cut into 12 squares. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent drying.) Repeat three times, making 48 squares., Press one square into a greased miniature muffin cup. Top with another square of phyllo, placing corners off center. Spoon about 1 tablespoon onion mixture into cup. Repeat with remaining phyllo squares and onion mixture. Bake at 375° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. , In a small skillet, saute onions in oil until tender; cool. In a food processor, combine the eggs, feta cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg and hot pepper sauce; cover and process until smooth. Gradually add cream and milk; process until blended., Brush the inside of crust with mustard. Sprinkle the green onions, chives and sauteed onions over crust. Carefully pour egg mixture over onions. Top with Parmesan cheese. , Bake at 375° for 30-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, sweat the onions in the butter and sugar until browned and softened, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add the hot water and bouillon and bring mixture to a boil.
• Turn heat down and simmer uncovered until liquid has been reduced, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
• Set mixture aside to cool a bit and then add cheese, stirring well to incorporate.
• Place about 1 heaping teaspoon measure into each phyllo cup.
• Bake in a preheated 375* oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Can be served hot or room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Add onions, garlic and sugar and saute 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are very brown and very soft (caramelized).
• Mix beaten eggs, sour cream, dill, flour, swiss and 2 Tbs of the parmesan in a large bowl.
• Add the caramelized onions to the egg mixture and mix until well combined.
• Take two sheets of phyllo dough and lay them into the bottom of a greased 8-10 inch springform pan.
• Brush with butter or spray with oil.
• Take another two sheets and lay them over the pan in the other direction.
• Spray with oil or brush with butter.
• Be sure that the bottom and sides of pan are covered with phyllo.
• When phyllo is laid in pan, pour in egg and onion mixture.
• Pull phyllo dough over mixture to cover (use additional sheets of phyllo if necessary).
• Brush top with 2 tsp butter and sprinkle with remaining (2 Tbs) parmesan cheese.
• Bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then release springform and let sit for 5 more minutes before slicing.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over 1/2 cup of warm water in a large bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Beat in 1 egg and butter. Gently stir in the flour, salt, and lemon zest until the dough has pulled together. Gather the dough into a ball, then place in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn dough ball to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
• Punch down the dough, and place in a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Spread dough out from the center using fingers. The dough should be thinner in the center and thicker at the edges. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle chilled tart shell with Gouda and Parmesan cheeses. Arrange the cooked onion and piquillo peppers decoratively over the cheese. Beat 2 eggs and heavy cream with the mustard in a bowl; pour egg mixture over the onion and cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the custard has set, 30 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• For the crust: In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl and pulse to blend. Add the butter and pulse. Add the water a little at a time and pulse until the dough just begins to come together in a rough mass.
• Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and roll into a 13-inch disk, about 1/4″ thick. Fold over the edges of the dough, about 1″ around, and crimp to seal. Transfer to baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the filling: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add salt and combine, then add onions. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frquently, until carmelized on all sides.
• Add the wine and reduce until syrupy, about 6-8 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and place the refrigerated dough on top of the onions. Prick the surface to let air escape.
• Return the pan to the oven and bake until crust is golden brown, about 35 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Place a serving platter upside down on top of the pan and turn both upside down together. Lift off the pan, leaving the onion tart on the serving dish. Serve immediately!

Steps:

• Blend flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Scatter butter over flour, top with lid and pulse 12 pulses to cut butter into flour to a coarse meal consistency.
• Dump butter-flour mixture into a medium stainless bowl. Make a well in the center and pour ice-cold water into the well.
• Using a flexible plastic dough scraper instead of your warm hands, bring the dough together by folding and pressing. Be firm and brisk and get the dough past its shaggy stage into a neat disk, trying to avoid using your hands or too much kneading. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Meanwhile, cut the onions in half and peel them. Slice the halves with the ribs (root end to sprout end direction), not against, to create julienne slices rather than half moons.
• In a wide sauté pan over medium-low heat, melt the bacon fat and slowly sweat the onions until they are caramelized. Take all the minutes you need - 25 or so - to let them soften to translucent, then to let the water they release start to evaporate, then to allow the sugars they contain to start to brown in the pan, so that you end up with soft, sweet and evenly browned onions. This is achieved by a slow caramelization. Set onions aside to cool.
• Roll tart dough out to a 1/4-inch-thick round, and drape over a round 10-inch fluted false-bottom tart pan. Lay dough into the pan, gently pressing into the bottom, and roll the pin across the pan to cut off the excess dough. Use your fingers to press the edges into the flutes, accentuating the shape of the dough edge. Dock the bottom of the dough with the tines of a fork, weight the pastry with beans or weight and blind-bake for 25 minutes.
• In a bowl, beat the egg with the cream. Stir in the caramelized onions. Season with pepper, nutmeg and salt to taste. Stir well, and make sure the onions are all evenly coated with the custard.
• Remove tart shell from oven, and slip it onto a baking sheet. Remove weights, fill with the onion-custard mixture and distribute it evenly. Return tart to oven on the sheet, and bake for 25 minutes, or until custard has set, the tops of the onions start to achieve a deeper brown and the dough is dark golden brown at the edges.
• Remove from the ring, and allow to cool just a few minutes on the rack, so that the piping hot tart shell can kind of tighten up enough to be sliced with a sharp chef's knife. (In the first few minutes straight out of the oven, the dough is kind of soft from the heat, possibly giving you the false impression that you have a soggy tart. Let it sit on the rack just to shake off this initial soft stage and to recrisp and refirm, which it will.) Cut into wedges, and serve while hot.

Steps:

• Place 2 sheets of phyllo in centre of a 9-inch pie plate, allowing edges to overhang. Brush lightly with butter. Repeat twice.
• Spread bottom of phyllo with jam.
• Whisk together cheese, 3 tablespoons sugar, lemon rind and egg; pour over jam.
• Combine apples with remaining sugar and cinnamon. Arrange apples over top of cheese layer.
• Carefully roll and crumble overhanging edges of phyllo and tuck into pie plate, making a rim.
• Bake at 375F for 45 to 55 minutes, or until apples are tender and cheese is set. Cool at room temperature; refrigerate. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl.
• On a baking sheet, place 1 sheet of phyllo and spray with cooking spray. Keep others under damp paper towels as not to dry out. Repeat that process until you have 5 sheets coated with cooking spray and stacked on top of each other. Sprinkle first layer with one quarter of the cheese mixture.
• Repeat that process again for a second layer of dough, topping with one quarter of the cheese mixture.
• Repeat the dough process using remainder of the dough sheets, sprinkle with the half of the remaining cheese mixture. Top with tomatoes and onions leaving about a 1 inch border and sprinkle last of cheese mixture on the top. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
• Remove from pan to a cooling rack so the bottom won't sweat, for about 5 minutes. Cut into square and enjoy!
