Recipe: Rustic Tart with Caramelized Onions, Apples and Red Cabbage

Rustic Tart with Caramelized Onions, Apples and Red Cabbage

A slice of this flavorful tart is perfect as a light evening meal, perhaps with a green salad on the side. Caramelizing the onions is the only time involved - otherwise it uses high-quality, ready-made ingredients.

1 (16-ounce) portion frozen French bread dough, thawed
Non-stick spray
3 medium yellow onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup imported German red cabbage with apples
4 ounces imported German Brie with herbs
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or pizza pan.

Stretch bread dough into a 10-inch circle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes, then stretch into a 15-inch circle. Place on prepared pan.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Heat non-stick spray in a large skillet, and add onion slices and salt. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft.

Turn heat to medium-low and cover. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and caramelizing.

Add 1/4 cup water and continue cooking until completely caramelized and no bitterness remains.

Spread onions onto pre-baked tart, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Top with cabbage, apples and bits of cheese. Sprinkle with thyme.

Bake 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.
