Caramelized Onion Tarts with Figs & Brie
Ingredients
Caramelized onions
- 2 large sweet onions or yellow onions thinly sliced (mandolin works best)
- 1 Tbsp. Organic Valley Ghee Clarified Butter or grass-fed butter
- 1 Tbsp. California Olive Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp. Monari Federzoni Organic Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
- 1 Tbsp. Simple Truth Organic Raw Honey - Unfiltered
- 1 tsp. Redmond Real Salt Ancient Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp. Simply Organic Thyme
- 2 Tbsp. water for deglazing
Assembly
- 1 pkg. organic frozen pastry puff dough defrosted
- 1/3 cup triple creamed French Brie cheese
- 1 egg to egg-wash dough
- 1/3 cup Bonne Maman Joser Preserved Fig Jam
Optional
To finish
- Fresh rosemary or thyme minced
- 1 Tbsp. honey
Instructions
-
In skillet over medium-high heat, add butter, olive oil, onions and salt and cook about 20 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, honey and thyme and lower heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring continually, until onions are cooked evenly and caramelized, about 30 minutes. (Note: The onion will turn translucent and with an amber-golden brown color.)
-
Deglaze onion from pan with 2 tablespoons water to prevent sticking upon removal from skillet. Set aside to cool for assembly.
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
On baking sheet, unroll 2 defrosted pastry dough sheets and, using ravioli cutter or sharp knife, cut into 12 3-inch squares.
-
With sharp knife, carefully score borders of squares. (Note: Scoring edges will help border rise when baked and create a ledge to contain filling.)
-
In small bowl, crack and mix egg. Using pastry brush, brush egg-wash on edges of dough. (Note: Egg wash creates nice color on tart.)
-
In middle of square, add 1 teaspoon fig preserve, 1 teaspoon caramelized onion and top with some Brie. To finish, sprinkle on minced rosemary or thyme. If using, add dried fig halves on top.
-
Bake 15-18 minutes, until dough puffs up and turns golden color.
-
To serve, if desired, drizzle honey on top and sprinkle on more herbs.
