Honey-Roasted Onion, Bacon, & Corn Tart

It has been awhile since I’ve gotten to bake on Sundays. Last Sunday, I decided that I would bake a tart as I recently bought a tart pan. I’ve been meaning to get one for years but never followed through with it until now. I have been dying to make tarts for a long time. Fruit tarts, cream tarts, and of course…savory tarts. I looked in my cookbooks & online for inspiration. I ended up finding many recipes I wanted to make but used one from Bon Appetite as a guideline.

Honey Roasted Onion, Bacon, & Corn Tart inspired from Honey-Roasted Onion Tart

For the pastry: Cornmeal Pate Brisee (make half the recipe)

After the dough has been refrigerated, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to be 13in round & about 1/4 in thick. Fit dough into a tart pan with a removable bottom pressing into the edges. Fit the dough flush to the edge of the pan. Chill for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375F and line chilled shell with parchment paper with a bit of overhang on the edges. Fill with dried beans or pastry weights. Bake for 30-40minutes & remove parchment & weights. Bake for 10-15 more minutes & cool completely on a wire rack.

For the filling:

  • 5 slices bacon
  • 1-1.5lb (2 large) sweet yellow onions, sliced in 1/4in half moons
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup white cooking wine
  • ½ cup yogurt
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 pinches salt
  • thyme to taste (1/4-3/4 tsp)
  • 1 can corn

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 5 slices bacon & bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Remove bacon, crumble, & set aside.

Place sliced onions on parchment paper with leftover bacon grease.

Combine honey & wine and pour over onions.

Roast onions for 45-60minutes until caramelized, stirring onions every 10-20minutes (stir more frequently at the end).

Place onions in tart shell. Mix yogurt, milk, salt, thyme, & corn and pour over onions.

Bake for 30-40minutes until almost set. Place crumbled bacon on top of tart & bake for another 10 minutes.

Remove from oven & cool slightly. Enjoy as an appetizer or for breakfast.

 

I didn’t have any pictures right out of the oven as it was gobbled up but I have one picture of some leftovers. Unfortunately it doesn’t do it justice.
