Cauliflower and Caramelized Onion Tart

This elegant cauliflower and caramelised onion tart combines earthy roasted vegetables with a rich, silky custard. The addition of truffle oil adds a luxurious depth of flavour that perfectly complements the nutty notes of Gruyère and Parmesan cheese. Golden, crisp pastry provides the ideal vessel for the sweet, slow-cooked onions and mascarpone filling, making this a truly indulgent savoury centrepiece.

Designed as a sophisticated vegetarian main or a standout lunch dish, this tart is excellent for entertaining as the elements can be prepared in advance. The combination of sweet onions and roasted cauliflower offers a wonderful balance of textures. Serve it warm with a crisp green salad and a sharp vinaigrette to cut through the richness of the Italian cream cheese and indulgent double cream.
