Notes
Tips and Tricks
Be patient when caramelizing the onions. Slowly cook them over low heat to allow the natural sugars to develop, resulting in a rich and sweet flavor. Pre-baking the tart crust for a few minutes before adding the filling will help prevent a soggy bottom. If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a pie dish or even a rectangular baking dish. Just make sure the dimensions are suitable for the recipe. Blind baking the crust (pre-baking it without the filling) can further prevent a soggy crust. Simply line the pastry with parchment paper and fill it with baking weights or dry beans before baking. Experiment with additional ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or fresh herbs to customize the flavors of your tart.Serve the tart warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.
