Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion sliced (or you can use store-bought caramelized onions or onion jam)
- 2 ounces pancetta cooked until crispy
- flour for rolling out the puff pastry
- 1 puff pastry defrosted in the fridge, frozen, sheet
- 1/4 cup crème fraîche
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/2 apple I used fancy pearl apples but honey crisp, gala or pink lady would be great, cut into sliced
- 3 thyme leaves removed, sprigs
- 3/4 cup gruyere cheese shredded
- 1 egg for egg wash, large, beaten
- 1/2 cup arugula for topping, or arugula microgreens
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- salt
Instructions
- Do a bit of prep by caramelizing the onions, in a small skillet over medium-low heat, stirring regularly, about 30 minutes. You could also buy caramelized onions or onion jam.
- Cook up the pancetta in a small skillet until crispy and evenly browned. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly flour your work surface. Unfold the puff pastry (mine was a rectangle, yours might be a circle!) and roll it out with a rolling pin until it’s a bit thinner in height. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Using a knife, score a 1/2-inch perimeter onto the puff pastry, all the way around. Poke a bunch of holes in the center, too.
- Add the creme fraiche mixture to the center and smother all around until there’s an even layer.
- Add the apple slices, caramelized onions, thyme leaves, Gruyere and pancetta. Brush the edges with the egg wash.
- Transfer the tart to the freezer for 5 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
- While the tart is in the oven, toss the arugula with a teaspoon of olive oil and a few pinches of salt. Top the tart with the arugula once it comes out of the oven. Slice up and serve!
