You are going to love this sweet onion tart with gruyere cheese appetizer!
We love this appetizer around our house and are excited to share it with you.
I have a small herb garden and in it among other herbs is thyme and chives.
The combination of these herbs with the sweet onions is so good!
Printable recipe at the bottom of this post.
Ingredient list-
- 2 cups flour
- kosher salt, a pinch
- sugar, a pinch
- 1-1/2 sticks cold butter, diced
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded (about 4 oz)
- 4 small sweet onions, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, minced, divided
- 1 tsp chives, minced, divided
Instructions:
- Place flour, salt and sugar in food processor; pulse for a few seconds. Add butter and pulse until pieces are the size of small peas. In a separate bowl combine egg and water. With the processor on, gradually add the egg mixture to the flour mixture.
- On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough and form into a log. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- When you’re ready to make a tart, preheat oven to 375°F. Roll the dough into a 12″x16″ rectangle on parchment paper. Transfer the dough to a cookie sheet. Trim and fold edges.
- Prepare your pastry on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle the pastry with the cheese and half the herbs. Place the onion slices on the cheese and sprinkle with the remaining herbs. Bake for 30–40 minutes.
- Cover edges with foil and broil until golden brown.
Quicker method-
*** If you would like to save time, you can opt for a pre made pastry instead of making your own.
