A rustic flaky, buttery crust topped with a thin layer of rich and tangy mascarpone cheese, sweet onions and tart plums make for an incredible sweet-savory bite. And the small drizzles of honey and balsamic vinegar with just a bit of fresh basil round out the combination perfectly. This tart is delightful as an appetizer or as dessert. Included is a basic recipe for pâte brisée, a savory pastry dough, that was adapted from Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." However, the plum topping definitely adds a new and contemporary twist.
