This savory tart is quite easy to put together. It begins with a salty flaky mouthwatering crust, my 10-minute press-in whole wheat olive oil crust.

While the crust bakes, sauté sliced onions into soft caramelized sweetness, then stir in bits of sun-dried tomato and chopped fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and basil–the choice is yours.

Spread the onion mixture into the crust, then dollop on soft tangy goat cheese. Whisk eggs with milk and pour over. Bake until the custard is just set. When you pull it out of the oven, pat yourself on the back. Tart well done!

Herbed Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onion Tart recipe details:

  • Prep ahead: Make the crust, press it in the pan, and par-bake it the day before, or earlier in the day. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and cook the onions ahead. You can even mix the custard ahead of time, but save chopping the fresh herbs until you are just about ready to bake the tart.
  • You gotta use fresh herbs—they’ll be the aromatic difference that takes your herbed goat cheese and caramelized onion tart over the top. Which herbs to include is up to you. I seem to always have parsley around, and this time a few thyme and rosemary branches, so in they went. If you only have one fresh herb, say basil, then use all basil.
  • The best tart pans are 1-inch deep fluted-ring pans with removable bottoms, round or square. After your tart cools, you gently work a knife around the edge, set the tart on something a few inches off the table, and see the ring fall away.
  • Now if you only have a regular pie pan, for heaven’s sake bake your herbed goat cheese tart in the pie pan. This savory tart is too good to pass by for lack of a special pan.
