And it&#8217;s a no brainer pairing with Sauvignon Blanc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\" id=\"wine-pairings\">Wine Pairings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Original Pairing:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalwine.com\/wine\/white-wine\/sauvignon-blanc\/palliser-estate-sauvignon-blanc\/p\/178757750?s=1605&amp;igrules=true&amp;bvstate=pg:3\/ct:r&amp;&amp;pid=cpc:Performance+Max%2BUS%2BWASH%2BENG%2BSPART::google::&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAleOeBhBdEiwAfgmXf9zEoon-4cIYXGIMXTkIT88MP647AgzluMYufh06sxNl7uzhrybe_BoCatkQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Pallisar Estate Sauvignon Blanc<\/span><\/a><br><br>General Pairing: Sauvignon Blanc, Chablis, Pinot Grigio,  dry Riesling, dry Rose, Cabernet Franc<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wine-pairing-menus\/first-famous-menu\/\" type=\"page\" id=\"3058\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Full Party Menu<\/span><\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\" id=\"specialty-ingredient\">Special Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Goat Cheese<br><\/strong>As a starting point, I generally use a mild, unflavored goat cheese that you can get at any grocery store. If you want to experiment with stronger flavors (like a Humbolt Fog), taste it with your wine as a stand alone element prior to committing it to the dish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Honey Options<br><\/strong>You can do this with basic clover honey that is sweet and doesn&#8217;t have any funky aftertaste. While always keeping the flavor of the wine in mind, it would be run to explore some honey flavor options.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Heavy bottom pan<br><\/strong>You&#8217;ll want a good sized pan to give yourself room to carmelize the onions so you can spread them out evenly. The more the onions have direct contact to the pan surface, the faster they will carmelize.  I use a large non-stick chef&#8217;s pan, but any large heavy bottom pan will do. I like to have a good edge when I&#8217;m doing a lot so I don&#8217;t slop out the onions when stirring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Oven sheet pan<\/strong><br>I have many that I use for all sorts of things from prep work, to baking, to freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Parchment Paper<br><\/strong>Using parchment paper is insurance on not having your food stick, from apps, flat bread, cookies, etc. I generally stock up on this as Costco. You could also use a silicone mats, but my items still tend to cling to those. And if you use them for anything meaty &#8211; they tend to hold the smell. So i use them only for cookie baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\" id=\"planning-the-dishcaramelizing-a-practice-in-patience\"><strong>Planning the Dish<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">It may take a while to properly caramelize onions. Make them ahead of time to not feel rushed. I find it really hard not to hard not to stir things. Stirring helps me feel productive.  But you really just need let them sit there awhile untouched. The rest of the tart can be served warm (bake just prior to serving) or at more room temp so up to an hour prior to serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\" id=\"planning-the-dishcaramelizing-a-practice-in-patience\">Timing Elements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1+ Day to Serve<\/strong>: Slice and carmelize onions a day ahead and refridgerate. Or you can do it several days ahead and freeze. Defrost overnight in fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>2 hours to Serve:<\/strong> To serve room temp, assemble tart and bake. Prep garnish and heat up jam as baking, drizzle when out of oven.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1 hour to Serve<\/strong>: To serve warm, assemble tart (5 min) and bake (30 min bake). Prep garnish and heat up jam as baking, drizzle when out of oven. Cool (10 min) then cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Serving<\/strong>: Add garnish just prior to serving<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Plating Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"225\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/oniontarte-sketch-800x225-lossy.webp?resize=800%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Caramelized Onion and Fig Jam Tart plating sketch\" class=\"wp-image-3385 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/oniontarte-sketch-800x225-lossy.webp?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/oniontarte-sketch-800x225-lossy.webp?resize=300%2C84&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/oniontarte-sketch-800x225-lossy.webp?resize=768%2C216&amp;ssl=1 768w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/225;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Onion Tart assembly sketch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">How this is presented depends on how you have cut it.

For my event, I displayed on a tray for guests to pick up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">To plate individually, have some extra fig jam or honey to drizzle over around the dish and plate.  You can add some thyme sprigs for added flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/resources\/\">(see <\/a><em><a href=\"http:\/\/supplies\">Wares <\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/havewinewillpair.com\/staging\/4627\/resources\/\">for plating supplies &amp; ideas)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\" id=\"pairing-alterations\">Pairing Alterations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>More Herby<br><\/strong>Add some finely chopped herbs such as rosemary, oregano, or basil to the goat cheese as you mix it with pepper.  You can also get a pre-herbed goat cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Less or More  Sweet<br><\/strong>To reduce sweetness, you can ease the amount of fig jam, or slice up some fresh figs to use instead. To increase sweetness you can also drizzle honey over the tarte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Stronger Cheese<br><\/strong>You can change up the type of goat cheese for a stronger flavor. You can also mix in a bit of stronger soft cheese such as Roquefort (as long as it goes with your wine!)<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-boulder-color has-text-color
