Featured Recipe: Rustic Sweet Onion Tart
Onions are the character actors of the kitchen. They make recipes sing but rarely get a starring role. Not this time! Our Rustic Sweet Onion Tart takes a lovely variety of onion – sweet reds (also called Bermuda onions) – and puts them front and center.
The flavor of cooked onions is subtle yet distinct. If they’re going to be the main ingredient, you want to keep things simple so as not to compete. This tart is indeed simple (read easy), but it really delivers. With just 10 minutes of prep, you’ve got it ready for the oven.
You could compare the Onion Tart to a quiche, which it sort of is. This tart can work for brunch or as a side dish, but in summer we tend to eat lighter, so paired with a fresh tossed salad, we’d definitely call this dinner.
Sweet onions are available throughout the summer – a good thing since in this recipe, they’re a scene stealer. You’re definitely gonna want to see this show again.

What you're saying..
Kudos and Plaudits to you! I have tried many of your recipes with success but I must say your Scrumptious Crock Pot Beef Stew was OUTSTANDING!!! I've made it many times since it appeared in the paper and each time it's a big hit and I love it even more (great leftover too).
I've learned to do all the prepping/chopping the night before so that all I have to do is the layering/assembling in the morning. I have upgraded a tad and use sirloin steak strips cut up when I can get them on sale......YUMMMMM!
So, thanks again for sharing your recipe. I know I'll be making this for eons to come!

I love this recipe. I served it to a group of girlfriends for dinner one night. A simple salad and chilled white wine….mmmmm.
