Caramelized Onion and Sweet Potato Tart image

It may look daunting, but this is worth the effort! I've made this for some very picky eaters and I have yet to hear a complaint! If you cannot find Manchego cheese (it is a soft Spanish cheese) or Gruyere, you can use mozzarella and Swiss instead. I have done this before with good results.
