Onion Tartlets a la Monica
from cooking with FRIENDS ©1995
(season 1 episode 15 -The One With The Stoned Guy)
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 t. salt
8 T. unsalted butter, chilled
4 T. cold water
2 T. olive oil
4 medium onions, sliced thin
1 T. sugar
salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
Place flour and the salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cold water (3-4T.) one tablespoon at a time just until the dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a floured counter and roll it to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Use a 3 1/2 inch round cookie cutter or juice glass to punch out 18 circles of dough
Grease 2 regular 12 cup muffin tins. Press each circle into 1 cup, gently pushing the dough part way up the side of each cup. There will be some empty cups. Chill the pastry in the muffin tins while you prepare the filling.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the onions and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and you are no longer crying (about 10 minutes). Stir in the sugar and continue cooking until the onions turn a rich golden brown, 5-10 minutes. Lower the heat if the onions start to burn at any time (duh!). Season the caramelized onions with salt and pepper to taste and set them aside.
Preheat oven to 400°. Divide the onion mixture among the pastry shells. Beat the eggs with a fork in a measuring cup. beat in milk. Carefully pour a tablespoon or so of the egg mixture into each pastry shell. bake until the edges of the pastry turn golden brown and the egg filling is set, about 20 minutes.Recipe
