Caramelised Onion & Mushroom Tarts - ideal finger food

[courton]

Thank you. Shall try short pastry and see how I go...

[courton]

Well I must say this was an absolute hit... made with puff and short crust pasty... yummy. Will be making it again and again. Thank you for a delish recipe.

Glad they all liked them courton.

I make a little finger food tart that my kids call mini-pizzas with caramelised onion - a round of short crust pastry, par-baked, topped with caramelised red onion (with balsamic & brown sugar), topped with chevre or sheeps feta & reheated, then sprinkled with lemon zest & lemon thyme.  Pretty fancy mini-pizzas!! 

Anyway, I've tried to caramelise the onions in the TMX before with no luck but after seeing your recipe Judy, I gave it another bash and it worked a treat!  Thankyou!  I used 1kg of red onions, cooked on 90C for 30 mins and varoma for another 30.  The TMX jug was almost full but it reduces down to nothing doesn't it!

Glad to inspire you greenie, I wouldn't do my onions any other way these days.

These were delicious. The guests gave them 10 out of 10. Thanks Judy.

That's great spektor - got to keep those guests happy so they come back for more

I made these with shortcrust pastry. Well worth the effort. I'd like to make them a bit bigger next time.

[Wonder]

They look fantastic. Really need to give them a go but just not enough time to get everything done.

[judydawn]

I've made them mini size and a bit bigger Brumington and my preference is for the bite sized mini version.  Something to do with filling ratio to pastry I think.  Yours look great.

[Kimmyh]

Oh they look lovely brummington.

[Mama Fergie]

These look fabulous.
Great for nibbles with drinks.
On the Christmas menu

Thank you! They were a massive hit at my party last night. I already have an order placed for some from my next door neighbour!

Hi Judy  do you think that this mixture would be enough if i used one quiche tin rather than made little ones.  I have a nice rectangular quiche tin and when cool the tart can be sliced into fingers.  Love the taste of caramelised onions but i do like then browned so i will do them on the cooktop while TMX is busy with something else. cant wait to try this

[judydawn]

I don't see why not GHM, the mixture should cover the base and if the egg mixture isn't enough, just double it.
