Caramelized onions go great on salads, in tarts, on pizza, crackers, casseroles, and just about anything else. They're very easy to make, and so is this savory goat cheese tart. I finally broke in my larger, circularย tart pan and came up with a pastry shell using almond flour and Parmesan cheese.
Tomatoes are overflowing on farmers' market tables. There are so many varieties I can't decide which type to purchase, so I buy an assortment of colors and shapesย - mostly the cherry and slicing types. But I don't buy too many because I also have my first crop this summer! They are beautiful, and have survived an early encounter with a deer that trimmed a few stalks and stems. The Seattle area's hot summer has certainly aided my first attempt at growing edibles.
Hazel says
This looks great! Do you think I could substitute the fresh tomatoes with sundried tomatoes?
Erica says
Yes, for sure.
Christine says
Great! Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try making this sometime soon ๐
Erica says
Yes, Christine, you can use a different hard cheese, or a softer cheese, which will produce a softer crust. I haven't come up with something yet that is not cheese, unless you just use a regular crust. The crust I recently made with the chicken pot pie (here: https://comfybelly.wpengine.com/2009/09/chicken-pot-pie.html) would work, and will become crunchy when baked for a while on a low temperature.
Christine says
This looks delish!
Can the parmesan cheese be substituted with anything else?
Erica says
For ideas on where to get almond flour, see https://comfybelly.wpengine.com/2009/01/the-scoop-on-almond-flour.html.
Erica says
Thanks for the kudos.
Beth, I'm not sure, but it just might work with regular flour. Usually a lot of butter is used with the flour, but the Parmesan cheese has a lot of fat and protein in it to hold it all together. Let me know if you try it!
Beth says
Not sure where to get my hands on almond flour. Could I use regular flour?

This looks amazing! I can't wait to try making crust with almond flour.
