Escoffier style onion tart: The old fashion way of making pies and tart

[@AngelaRodhas]

This is the best recipe I have ever tried, I keep making it and I like it more and more.

[@donmorgan3710]

Very interesting. Definitely an ancestor of the Vidalia onion pie we make in the southeastern US.

[@heatherlinton5057]

Oh Stephan this must be super delicious 👌🇿🇦

[@scriptureexamined4664]

Finally, a savoury tart without egg filling. Yummy! ;-)

[@scriptureexamined4664]

@eternal footman No, but I don't like the taste of solidified eggs, except for scrambled eggs.

[@sylviepayette375]

Je mangeais cette tarte à l'oignon dans la région de Brest, lorsque j'étais enfant. Délicieux. Merci d'avoir retrouvé la recette.

[@BlaBla-pf8mf]

I love the Escoffier style recipes. Classic french cuisine at its best.

[@gama1129]

Hilarious ! Im Half French, have lived in Paris for 8 years, and I swear, the best butter I had was with chuncks of sea salt in it.I just cant explain... on a warm baguette........

[@vividbreeze]

I've just made this onion tarte. I wasn't sure about the whole thing while I was making it. It takes some time and effort for such few ingredients. But it turned out surprisingly well. The taste is really amazing. It's not like an onion tarte. It is super-creamy, on the edge of running, with a light taste of onion. It's something I haven't had before - definitely worth making. Thanks a lot Stéphane.

[@ronstarkronstark500]

Perfect! Lovely. Looks great. MUST not be forgotten!

[@cyn4476]

I love that you made something without a lot of eggs. It's difficult to get them right now, but we have the other ingredients. Onions are very easy to get! Thank you, I will give this a try soon.

[@fullmoonsociety7463]

That's the most beautiful bechamel I've ever seen

[@TheMovingEye]

Using a flavored Bechamel is very interesting for someone wanting to veganize a french tart - Bechamel is much easier to veganize than the classic egg and cream mixture. Thank you for the inspiration, this is promising.

[@cristinavelasco9818]

PERFECT ONION TART....WOW..‼️ Congrats. 👍🥰🙋

[@jelenaselin]

I love this kind of exploring of earlier techniques. Even traditional regional cooking is still a very time-bound thing. Comparing recipes from today to the 1970ies and further back just shows how much we have changed in what we find "good". The amounts of butter for instance, like you say. :-) I think is very important to not forget about the older techniques, there is always something to learn. The magic in seeing this "mise en place" with so few and simple ingredients makes me a bit nostalgic for the pre-global world, when we had to make do with what we could grow locally and store over the winter. So interesting and well done to explore an earlier type of quiche / croustade with soubise. Will definitely try.

[@TheTaindio]

If this was what was done "in the day" I can only imagine what was done "in the night"

[@thomasgaida7174]

This recipe got me. My first attempt went wrong, the filling was too liqiuid. Probably because I did not slice the onions finely enough and because I did not drain the onions slices properly after boiling them in the water. Now, my second attempt is in the oven. I am still a bit sceptic. If it does not work out this time, I think about adding a bit of potato starch in my third attempt. I want to avoid adding egg to the filling. Simple ingredients, but quite a challenge. This time, i also sprinkled some grated parmesan cheese on top, just to give it a twist. Thank you for this recipe, Stéphane!

I think Escoffier would have used a stick blender if he’d had one. 😋 Thanks for another great recepie. I’m a new subscriber and have made the ragout and the beans in tomato sauce so far. This looks like a great thing to make and bring to a potluck lunch or picnic.

James Rayner I was thinking the same for a brunch menu. I would use Bleu Cheese and a Rocket salad.

[@ma2wheaton]

So suprisingly soft in the middle! I was thinking of some sort of cheese sprinkled on top. Bad idea? Most importantly, what type of black pepper do you recommend? Pepper has a number of varieties and points of origin. Here in the USA we can find a variety in the specialty spice shops.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

You could try cheese no problem pepper wise you can use any you like

[@michelsputnik9912]

I tried to find the recipe in my 3 Escoffier book and I find the «Sauce Soubise» in 2 different ways how to make it and also the different croustades. In which one did you find it? It was delicious. Avec de la «Sauce Mornais» en ajoutant d'autre fromages, oui définitivement on peut être créatif.

You can.

Looks as though it's perfect for those with egg restrictions in their diet. I personally would prefer a stronger onion flavor and think I'd forgo the blanching/boiling step, but keep everything else. Do you have any other onion tart recipes? Maybe do a "covid19 series" of what's available in the markets???
