Prompted by Food52's contest calling for late winter tarts, blogger Jennifer Perillo at Jennie's Kitchen concocted this savory French Onion Tart. Try it as a unique alternative to French Onion Soup.

The seedling of an idea for this recipe started while I was making cheddar cheese crackers for the kids. The thought occurred that it might be an interesting base for a tart crust. As I wandered through the farmers' market later that day, in search of some "late winter" inspiration, a bunch of humble onions set the ball rolling. It was at the moment I knew I wanted to recreate the flavors of a French onion soup into my tart.
