        <content>A few threads back(!), there was a request for vegetarian savory tart recipes.  A Fish Called Wanda posted one that I thought sounded good (see link below).  So, a week or so ago I finally got around to caramelizing a few pounds of onions (recipe doesn't require that many, but once I'm going to spend some time caramelizing onions, I want a lot!).  And, on Saturday night, I made said tart.
 
Truly, it is sublime.  A recipe where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.  for those who like more specifics, I would estimate that I used 1/4-1/3 lb. shredded gruyere, 1-1.5 lbs onions (caramelized) and maybe one pint (?) of cherry toms.  Although they would have been outstandingly mediocre on a salad, the toms were just fine here--the acidity cutting nicely against the gruyere and the sweetness of the onions.
 
The only change i made was the addition of a layer of spinach on the bottom (before the onions go in).  It was perfectly fine, but I think it detracted from the perfection that would have been this recipe without it.
 
Thanks for the recipe, A Fish Called Wanda!

      <content>So glad you enjoyed it!  Oh-oh, if my husband sees this thread he'll insist on a tomato onion tart this weekend.  He'll do absolutely anything for this tart - even wash dishes when it's not his turn :)

      <content>Is it possible / advisable to make this at home and then bring it to a potluck for a quick reheat?</content>

      <content>I actually also think it would do just fine at room temperature, but I'm not very picky about that kind of thing.</content>

      <content>&#205;t's nice when the cheese gets even a little melt-y.</content>

      <content>Of course you can reheat it!  I've made this kind of tart using sliced plum tomatoes arranged in concentric circles.  Delicious, not difficult and nice presentation. Thanks for the reminder.</content>

      <content>This was one of the first recipes I got off of chowhound, and just thinking about it now is making me hungry!  It truly is the perfect tart, especially the caramelized onions with a splash of balsamic vin.  Every single person I have made this for goes crazy for it, and I love that you can make it any time of year and it will still taste good.  It is almost like a giant gourmet pizza!  Truly a great recipe.  Thanks for sharing.</content>
