  • This escoffier style onion tart is an absolute blast from the past. It uses a soubise puree as a filling (which is based of béchamel and pureed onions) which is then cooked in a pie crust and served Luke warm.

    I've just made this onion tarte. I wasn't sure about the whole thing while I was making it. It takes some time and effort for such few ingredients. But it turned out surprisingly well. The taste is really amazing. It's not like an onion tarte. It is super-creamy, on the edge of running, with a light taste of onion. It's something I haven't had before - definitely worth making. Thanks a lot Stéphane.

    I love this kind of exploring of earlier techniques. Even traditional regional cooking is still a very time-bound thing. Comparing recipes from today to the 1970ies and further back just shows how much we have changed in what we find "good". The amounts of butter for instance, like you say. :-) I think is very important to not forget about the older techniques, there is always something to learn.
    The magic in seeing this "mise en place" with so few and simple ingredients makes me a bit nostalgic for the pre-global world, when we had to make do with what we could grow locally and store over the winter. So interesting and well done to explore an earlier type of quiche / croustade with soubise. Will definitely try.

    @thomasgaida7174 4 роки тому

    This recipe got me. My first attempt went wrong, the filling was too liqiuid. Probably because I did not slice the onions finely enough and because I did not drain the onions slices properly after boiling them in the water. Now, my second attempt is in the oven. I am still a bit sceptic. If it does not work out this time, I think about adding a bit of potato starch in my third attempt. I want to avoid adding egg to the filling. Simple ingredients, but quite a challenge. This time, i also sprinkled some grated parmesan cheese on top, just to give it a twist. Thank you for this recipe, Stéphane!

    Looks good! Is your butter salted or un-salted?

    Made this for dinner. Was inhaled by 2 teens, one who is quite fussy.

    I was surprised there was not thyme in the onion mix.
