Savory tart with roasted vegetables, caramelized onions, maple syrup, and goat cheese in a flaky crust.
# What You Need:
→ Pastry
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
03 - 1 egg yolk
04 - 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Filling
06 - 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
07 - 1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced
08 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
09 - 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
10 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
12 - 3.5 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
13 - 2 eggs
14 - 2/3 cup crème fraîche
15 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
16 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# How to Make It:
01 - Set the oven temperature to 400°F.
02 - In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add cold butter and rub into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Incorporate egg yolk and just enough cold water to form a dough. Shape into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
03 - Toss sweet potato and butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and tender. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
04 - In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and cook red onion until soft and caramelized, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
05 - Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface and fit into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the base with a fork, line with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights. Bake for 10 minutes.
06 - Whisk together eggs, crème fraîche, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl until combined.
07 - Layer roasted vegetables and caramelized onions in the pastry shell. Sprinkle with goat cheese, then pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling.
08 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 350°F until the filling is set and lightly golden.
09 - Allow tart to cool slightly before unmolding. Optionally, cut additional pastry into maple leaf shapes, bake until golden, and decorate on top before serving.
