What do you like for breakfast the most? If the answer is eggs, then you can surely give these caramelized onion and egg tarts a try. Tart, for the unfamiliar, is a short-crust pastry made with a crunchy base that is usually filled or topped with a sweet or savoury filling. This baked delight can be a great breakfast item as it can be stuffed with fillings of your choice.
The key ingredient that shines in this tart is the caramelized onions due to their perfect pairing with eggs. To achieve their mildly sweet flavour, the onions are chopped and coated in sugar before being spread over the perfectly cooked eggs and placed inside a tart. The end result is a deliciously cooked egg tart that is sure to tempt you to try making it at home.
