Chez Mia’s Pissaladiére (Caramelized Onion Tart) Recipe:

Ingredients-

• 6 yellow onions
• 3 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
• 1 tbsp. Butter 
• 1 package phyllo dough 
• thyme (optional)
• anchovies (optional)
• olives (optional)
• salt & pepper 

Method-

1. Slice Yellow onions super thin.
2. Caramelize onions low and slow until soft. Chez Mia prefers there’s done with olive oil, only adding butter at the end (if butter is added at the beginning it can burn).
3. Buy the phyllo dough and cut it to shape (minis for individual bites) larger for groups
4. Bake dough at 400°F
5. After the dough is baked, add in the caramelized onions. Bake again (timing depends on the size of your dish and tarts)
6. Top with olives, salt, pepper, anchovies… voila!
