Caramelized Onion, Walnut And Gorgonzola Tart
- 1 (1 pound) loaf frozen bread dough, thawed according to package directions
- Juice and grated zest of 1 fresh lemon
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided usage
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, as desired
- 4 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup baby arugula leaves (or torn larger arugula leaves)
- 1 red pear, stemmed seeded and diced
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.
- Place thawed bread dough into a large mixing bowl; add lemon juice (reserve zest for later use) and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, working into the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place while continuing with recipe.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy skillet placed over medium heat. Add the onions, blending well. Cook until golden, stirring occasionally, about 20 to 30 minutes. Season as desired with salt and pepper.
- Punch down dough; remove from bowl and place on prepared baking sheet. Starting at center, press out dough with greased hands to form an approximate 11 x 10-inch rectangle. With fingers or the handle of a wooden spoon, make "dimples" in dough every 3 inches.
- Remove onions from skillet with a slotted spoon and cover dough with onions, distributing evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle with cheese and walnuts and return to the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the bread is lightly browned.
- Toss together the reserved lemon zest, arugula and the diced pear. Reserve.
- Remove tart from oven; cut into squares and top with pear/arugula mixture. Serve right away.
