Tahoe Meals: Day 4, Dinner

Ok - long name, I know, but this is the tastiest caramelized onion tart, that just saying "Caramelized Onion Tart" simply does not do it justice!  There are many variations to this, so I will list a few at the bottom.  Here is the recipe for the picture below!

Ingredients:

• pastry dough*, room temperature
• onion, 1, sliced
• olive oil, 1 tbls
• balsamic vinegar, 2 tbls
• brown sugar, 1 tbls
• Feta, crumbled, 1/2 cup
• Brie*, 1 oz, cut into little pieces
• apple, 1/4, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in large skillet.
2. Caramelize sliced onion (about 15 minutes).
3. Mix balsamic vinegar and brown sugar then add to the onion mixture.  
4. Reduce heat to low and cook gently for another 20 - 25 minutes, then cool.
5. Preheat oven to 400*.
6. Roll pastry dough out on parchment paper.
7. Lay sliced apple evenly over the dough.
8. Add the cooled onion mixture.
9. Sprinkle the feta evenly over the onions.
10. Dot the brie through the tart.
11. Cook for 18 to 20 or until crust is golden brown.
