onion tart
(1 rating)
Pissaladier, the classic onion tart from the South of France, makes for a great match with a glass of Sauvignon blanc. The bright citrus and melon flavors of the wine act as a refreshing contrast to the richness of the pastry and caramelized onions, while the brightness of the olives works to soften the wine. Use this dish either as a first course with a salad or as a small bite while sharing a glass of wine with friends.

3On a lightly floured surface, roll the remaining piece of pastry to a thickness of 1/16 inch. Turn the edges to measure the length of each strip. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Dock surface with a fork, that is poke lots of small holes to prevent air pockets from forming. Lightly brush with beaten egg. Lay the reserved strips of puff pastry on each edge. Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the pastry no longer looks raw and it's just starting to turn Brown. Spread the onion mixture on the inside of the tart. Brush the edges with egg and return to the oven to continue cooking. Remove when pastry is a Golden Brown, after about 10 minutes. Push olives into the onions to form a grid pattern and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Serves six.
