Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms Tart with Blue Cheese – simple tart made with puff pastry topped with caramelized onions, mushrooms and blue cheese.
I have a secret to share with you.
I love caramelized onions, as in caramelized onion flatbread, as in this tart here. But I also love mushrooms. And blue cheese. This tart here is a win win.
Are you guys scared of making tarts? They’re so easy because the easiest way to make them is using puff pastry, then you can top them with anything you want, fruits, custard tarts, and savory tarts like this one. You’ll find many such tarts here on Jo Cooks.
So this tart here. Yum! Caramelized onions and mushrooms in butter and olive oil, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, you don’t need much salt because the blue cheese is fairly salted, puff pastry and one of my favorite cheeses, blue cheese. I know a lot of people are not fans of blue cheese but you have to give it a try, it’s delicious. When you marry all these great ingredients together you have a great marriage of amazing flavors resulting in one delicious tart.

I know this is fabulous, I’ve made it before but always just the day I serve it. This time I need to prepare for 30 guests. How far in advance may I cook the onion, cheese & mushroom mixture? I’d like to used this as a bruschetta topping.
Thank you,

The onion cheese and mushroom mixture, could probably be made a couple days before, don’t think I’d do it earlier than that.
This looks nice. Bet it tastes delicious to. Thanks for sharing.

Oh. Dear. GOD… I want this for my face! It hits all the right notes, Jo. I LOVE mushrooms, and would never have thought to include them on a tart with onions like this. It’s so easy to get stuck in your ways when cooking. This is a lovely idea and I’n going to copy it, and soon 😉
Go for it, hope you like it. 🙂
Simple ingredients and packed with a flavour punch. This is certainly my kind of meal! Thanks for sharing…

Did I tell you I baked a cake?
You did not! Good for you, did it turn out good?
I did. I did and it turned out great. It was an orange chiffon so not hard but it was nice and light and springy and finished in five minutes. There. I’ve started. I need to change all my baking tins. They must be ancient. They’re still from England!!
That’s great Judy, I love those kind of cakes. 🙂
wow, great recipe idea, thanks for sharing, I’ll try it. 🙂
Thanks Amalia 🙂
