French Onion Tart

This tart has the soul-warming and comforting taste of French onion soup in a pastry shell. This recipe calls for both melted onions and pâte brisée.

The melted onions and the pâte brisée will make two tarts. You can refrigerate or freeze half of the onions and one disk of pâte brisée for use another day if you only would like one tart.
