I can’t believe Thanksgiving is over and the holiday party season has begun. I love this time of year and the food, which is the center of all parties. I don’t know about you but I love appetizers, especially appetizers made with cheese.

As a food blogger, when I’m invited to a party I am expected to bring something a little more than onion dip. Don’t get me wrong, I love onion dip, but my Caramelized Onion Bacon Cheese Tart is a little more gourmet. Your guest will be amazed and beg for the recipe.

How to make Caramelized Onion Bacon Cheese Tart

In a medium-sized pan over medium heat cook the bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel, reserving bacon grease in the pan.

Place onions in the bacon grease, season with salt and pepper, cook on medium heat until soft and caramelized, stirring often. Stir in mushrooms and saute until mushrooms are browned and most of the moisture is evaporated. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400˚. Lightly flour a piece of parchment and place both sheets of puff pastry overlapping by 3 inches in the center. Roll the pastry sheet into an 18×12-inch rectangle.

Place the parchment and pastry onto the baking sheet. Brush the edges of the pastry with water.  Fold over the edges 1/2 inch on all sides, crimping with a fork to form a rimmed edge  Use a fork and prick the center of the pastry thoroughly. 

Whisk egg with the water and brush the edges of the pastry. Spread the caramelized onion/mushroom mixture over pastry and sprinkle with bacon. Top with Stella® cheeses and the herbs.
