Caramelised Onion Tart

"This tart is tasty served hot or cold. I don't add salt to the eggs as I find the feta cheese adds enough saltiness. Once you have line the flan let it rest for 10-15 mins BEFORE you trim the pastry. This should resolve the shrinkage problem once baked"

  1. A really nice recipe. I made my own pastry as I find when I use the bought stuff in inevitably shrinks on me. Made it on Sunday afternoon and enjoyed it for dinner on Monday and Tuesday nights. Well worth making. Made for Aussie Kiwi Swap #35 Dec 09
     
  2. I'm giving this recipe 5 stars for flavour, it tasted fabulous! But four stars for the couple of problems I had when baking. After blind baking my puff pastry it shrunk a lot. I knew that there was no way I would fit all the ingredients into the pastry shell and had to reduce the fillings. We really loved this recipe - the flavour of the sweet potatoes and the fetta and onion worked well together! I served this warm but can see that it would be a great picnic dish. DP will be taking the leftover slice for lunch tomorrow!
