Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour, for dusting Pate Brisee (Pie Dough) 3 tablespoons butter 6 tablespoons sugar 12 cipollini onions, peeled Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch-round biscuit cutter, cut out 12 circles. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate until needed.

Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle sugar over butter; cook, stirring, until sugar melts and starts to turn amber in color.

Halve onions crosswise. Season cut surface with salt and pepper. Arrange onions in a single layer, cut side down, in skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, without turning, until caramelized sugar bubbles up around onions and onions are fragrant, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

Using a slotted spoon or spatula to keep onions intact, transfer them to mini-muffin tins, placing half an onion, cut side down, in each cup (allow sugar syrup to remain in pan). Return skillet to low heat. Stir in balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper and a few leaves of fresh thyme.

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Quickly, before sugar cools, spoon a generous teaspoon sugar mixture into each muffin tin. Drape chilled pastry rounds over each onion, and using fingers, press to secure. Onions should be swaddled in pastry. Place muffin tin in oven; bake until pastry is golden brown and sugar bubbles up over pastry, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Immediately set baking sheet over muffin tin; invert, being careful of hot caramel that might drip from tin. Once you invert the tins, tarts will be right side up; serve garnished with fresh thyme leaves.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/07/2015   Delicious flavors but a mess trying to get out of the muffin tin. I used store bought refrigerated pie dough, so I don't know if that was the issue, but if I make this again, I will either place pie dough in greased muffin tin first then top with onion/syrup or try with puff pastry.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/18/2012   Cooking times were okay for me. I would serve them at room temp. I found that they tasted better as they cooled. However I would use less sugar. Maybe 3 - 4 tablespoons

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/19/2011   A friend made these this past weekend and the onions were too burned to eat. We thought 20 minutes at 425 after caramelizing for 15 minutes may have been too much. These are small tartlets. The concept is wonderful, but keep an eye on cooking time.
