Here is a recipe for a delicious onion tart that tastes so good that you’ll be amazed how easy it is to make . Best part? It’s made with so few ingredients and is gorgeous to look at too.

The occasion

Our daughter Sridevi made this delicious onion tart when she had me and my friends over for tea in her garden in late May. The main course was this onion tart, accompanied by a simple salad.

Simple recipe with outstanding results

The recipe is so easy and made with simple ingredients. Onions, butter, fresh herbs, salt, pepper and frozen puff pastry.

Sri made her onion tart with onions she grew in her garden, but any variety of onions can be used in this recipe.

Easy as 1,2,3

Folks, I watched Sri make this onion tart and I was blown away how easy it was to put together.

1. First, melt butter and then spread the onions on the melted butter and cook until the onions are slightly browned but not caramelized.

2. Top with fresh herbs such as rosemary, sage, and thyme. Sprinkle of salt and pepper and top with froze puff pastry.

3. Bake in a 350F oven for 20 minutes. Take out of oven and flip the tart onto a serving plate. The puff pastry will end up on the bottom and the onions on top.

A wonderful make when guests arrive recipe

This is not a make ahead recipe as Sri pointed out to me. She said she has made the tart in the past before guests arrive and it didn’t taste as good, got soggy and mushy. So now, she preps the onions but makes the tart right before guests arrive. Besides, I know a lot of guests who would enjoy watching the hostess cook something this delicious.

Puff Pastry Onion Tart
recipe contributed by Sridevi

Ingredients:

Frozen puff pastry sheets
2-3 tbsp butter
3 onions any variety cut into thick half circles
Fresh herbs – rosemary, sage, thyme or a combination
Salt and pepper

Directions:

In a cast iron pot (preferably) or use any pan you want. Melt the butter until golden in color. Gently place the onion evenly in the pan so they cook evenly and get slightly browned on one side – about 5-7 minutes.

Next top with sprigs of rosemary, thyme, and sage. Sprinkle salt and black pepper.

Top with a sheet of puff pastry cut to the shape of your pan. Place in a 350F oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Take out of the oven and carefully invert onto a plate.

Cook’s notes: If your pan is not oven friendly, transfer onion mixture to an oven proof pan. Then top with herbs, salt, pepper and and puff pastry and bake. Once the puff pastry is cooked invert onto a serving platter.

Serve with side salad.

Bon Appetit!
