Toma, Caramelized Onion, Potato & Bacon Tart

Toma, Caramelized Onion, Potato & Bacon Tart

Servings: Serves 6


Ingredients

  • Pie Dough for one crust (store-bought or your favorite recipe)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium Yukon Gold Potato, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups shredded Toma (about 8 oz)
  • 6 oz bacon, chopped and cooked until crisp
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh sage for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the olive in a medium pan over high heat. Add the onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onions begin to wilt. Reduce the heat to low and cover.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and turned a deep, golden brown, about 25 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar and cook a couple minutes more.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Roll out pie dough and place in a 9” tart pan, pressing the sides against the pan.  Par-bake the crust for 10 minutes.
  3. Layer the sliced potatoes on par-baked crust in concentric circles. Sprinkle with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper.  Place a thin layer of shredded Toma on top followed by thin layers of caramelized onions and bacon.  Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with Toma and bacon. 
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is golden brown and potatoes are cooked through.  Let cool for 10 minutes.  Remove tart from pan, top with sage leaves and serve.
