Onion Tart with Fontina Cheese

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

This tart is great to serve as an appetizer because it tastes just as good hot from the oven as it does at room temperature. I also like how you can prepare all of the ingredients the day before hand and only have the assembly left before a party.

The original recipe called for leeks and red and green onions. I decided to modified it and just use leeks and sweet yellow onions. The base of this tart is puff pastry. I have never actually made my own. If you live in Calgary I would recommend that you get your puff pastry from the Brulee Patisserie. They make it fresh in the shop and I have always had great results with it. I also love having a reason to go there so that I can get one of their Molasses Spice Bars. It is so delicious – filled with raisins, apricots, and blackstrap molasses.
