Onion Tart

Onion Tart by Charlotte Patisserie

Although Magda and Michael Lechowicz originally hail from Poland, the brother and sister team have brought a taste of France to Greenpoint. And discerning neighborhood sweet teeth have been grateful ever since. Since opening in October, Charlotte Patisserie has become well known for silky lattes and a display case of miniature pastries so dazzling you’d sooner frame than eat them. Chef Michael usually makes tarts with a wide assortment of fruit, but with bikini season looming, he’s decided to provide Gazette readers with an easy-to-make vegetable-based dish. Not only a healthy snack, the tart’s caramelized onions and fresh tomatoes rethinks the age-old notion of a good pie.
