I make a little finger food tart that my kids call mini-pizzas with caramelised onion - a round of short crust pastry, par-baked, topped with caramelised red onion (with balsamic & brown sugar), topped with chevre or sheeps feta & reheated, then sprinkled with lemon zest & lemon thyme.  Pretty fancy mini-pizzas!!  ;)

Anyway, I've tried to caramelise the onions in the TMX before with no luck but after seeing your recipe Judy, I gave it another bash and it worked a treat!  Thankyou!  I used 1kg of red onions, cooked on 90C for 30 mins and varoma for another 30.  The TMX jug was almost full but it reduces down to nothing doesn't it!

I made these with shortcrust pastry. Well worth the effort. I'd like to make them a bit bigger next time.

They look fantastic. Really need to give them a go but just not enough time to get everything done.

I've made them mini size and a bit bigger Brumington and my preference is for the bite sized mini version.  Something to do with filling ratio to pastry I think.  Yours look great.

Thank you! They were a massive hit at my party last night. I already have an order placed for some from my next door neighbour!

Hi Judy  do you think that this mixture would be enough if i used one quiche tin rather than made little ones.  I have a nice rectangular quiche tin and when cool the tart can be sliced into fingers.  Love the taste of caramelised onions but i do like then browned so i will do them on the cooktop while TMX is busy with something else. cant wait to try this

I don't see why not GHM, the mixture should cover the base and if the egg mixture isn't enough, just double it.
