French Onion Tart

If you cook onions slowly over low heat, they lose their sharpness and turn melty soft and sweet. That caramelization is what makes this French beauty a classic. I followed a recipe by André Soltner of Lutèce fame that can be found in NYT Cooking.  The caramelized onions are combined with cream, eggs, a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then baked in a savory tart crust. The result is pure buttery, flaky, onion magic.

Berries and Cream Tart

This cool and creamy tart is an elegant dessert that offers a little something for everyone. Sweet, juicy berries and a vanilla cream cheese filling are surrounded by a buttery, crumbly, chocolate crust satisfying both fruit lovers and chocolate fanatics alike. The color combination makes this perfect for your Fourth of July backyard picnic.

Blueberry Panna Cotta

Blueberry Panna Cotta is a gorgeous custard, both in presentation and flavor. It’s easy to put together and ideal during the summer when blueberries are in season and there’s little interest in turning the oven on. Even though the blueberries pack a visual punch, the taste is mellow and complements the more traditional honey-vanilla notes beautifully. Be sure to sample your blueberries first to ensure they are nice and sweet before starting the recipe.
