Onion Tarte Tatin

Onion Tarte Tatin is a deliciously savory take on the classic French dessert, featuring tender caramelized onions that melt into a rich, sweet-and-salty filling. The onions are slowly cooked in butter until golden and perfectly sweetened, then topped with a buttery, flaky pastry that bakes to a golden crisp. Once flipped, the result is a stunning upside-down tart with layers of soft, aromatic onions enveloped in a crisp, golden crust. It’s the perfect balance of sweetness and savory goodness, making it a unique and impressive dish for any occasion. Visit groovyfoodiess.com for more of Sarah's recipes!
