This morning I didn’t have breakfast. Well I did, but it wasn’t my normal cereal and yogurt.
Our first savory tart for class was an onion tart, topped with walnuts, blue cheese, and tomatoes in a pate birsee. This is essentially what I made last night for a dinner on a pizza with the addition of balsamic vinegar and pears. So I thought I was golden. Golden being the key word. That was the color my onions were supposed to be … yet I managed to BURN them.
I burned onions! I could cook onions perfectly in my sleep, from another room, while being half paralyzed. Nope, but not today. So not only was I embarassed in front of the whole class, I was punished. And my punishment according to Chef was to eat the burnt onions … at 8 am in the morning.
Some breakfast.
Hiding in the computer lab during family meal … ugh … wish me luck!








balsamic vinegar pear pizza sounds delicious. how’d it turn out? did you make the pizza dough from scratch?
Sauté the the onions until caramelized then splash with balsamic and top pizza dough with them, thinly sliced pears and blue cheese. I personally prefer buying dough directly from a pizza shop – it’s cheaper than making or buys a pizza, about $3 and well worth it! Proofing and allowing dough to rise takes mucho time! Hope this helps!
