Caramelized Onion Pesto Pie image

A very savory and rich tart with lots of variations for the type of crust you want to use. It's a good light, vegetarian meal served with a salad, a fine first course, or as an appetizer when cut in smaller pieces.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 tart

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 lbs sweet onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 pie shell (I've also used a Boboli Crust, puff pastry and phyllo dough with good results)
1/2 cup prepared pesto sauce
1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Cook the sliced onion in the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft.
  • Add the sugar and salt and continue cooking and stirring until onions are golden and caramelized, about 35 minutes.
  • Spread mustard on the crust of your choice.
  • Spread pesto over the mustard.
  • Spoon the onions into the crust and smooth to make an even layer.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until crust is light brown and cooked.
  • Time and temperature might vary depending on what type of crust you choose.
