Gorgonzola and Caramellised Onion Tartlets
Published in Finger Foods
The larger muffin size makes a lovely starter. The onion marmalade makes a wonderfully unusual topping for plain grilled fillet steak or caramelize parboiled baby onions, to toss into a green salad.

- 125 g butter
- 250 g flour
- 100 g gorgonzola, grated
- 1 egg yolk

- 3 large onions, thinly sliced
- 60 ml balsamic vinegar
- 60 ml olive oil
- 100 ml water
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
- To prepare the onion marmalade place all ingredients in a sauté pan and season well. Allow to simmer until caramelized – will take quite a long time, at least 20-30 minutes.Rub butter into flour, add cheese, and mix well together.
