It’s my favorite time of the year……..Vidalia Onion season! Do you know what makes Vidalia Onions so sweet? The low amount of sulfur in the soil of which they are grown, combined with growing conditions and weather! And, fun fact, Vidalia Onions are grown in 20 South Georgia counties! Shuman Farms RealSweet Onions have been bringing onions to us for over 35 years.
Whenever you see the RealSweet® bag at your local grocery store, rest assured in knowing that you are receiving only the highest quality of onions. Each bag is checked by hand for quality and weight accuracy before shipping. Once packaged, these sweet onions are loaded onto trucks and shipped to your local grocer. The Vidalia growing region may only be in Southeast GA, but Vidalias are available all over the country! Be on the lookout for these onions on your next trip to the grocery store, and taste the RealSweet difference!
I was so excited to create a new recipe with these gorgeous Shuman Farms RealSweet Onions. This Caramelized Vidalia Onion & Sausage Galette is packed full of sweet onion flavor in every bite. The sausage helps to give it a savory note and the Dijon mustard gives it that yummy flavor that keeps you coming back for just one more bite. This galette is not only delicious, but super easy to prepare. Serve as a main dish with a salad, or it would also make a wonderful appetizer!
Caramelized Vidalia Onion & Sausage Galette
Ingredients:
8 oz. breakfast sausage
1 pre-made pie crust
6-8 ounces Gruyère cheese
5 medium Vidalia onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
2 tablespoons butter
5 sprigs fresh thyme
Salt/Pepper to taste
Egg White to brush on crust
Instructions:
In a large skillet, brown the sausage. Take out of pan and set aside.
In the same skillet that you used to cook the sausage, add butter. Then, add in the onions, salt/pepper and thyme. Cook stirring frequently. You want the onions to be caramelized and a golden brown. It will take around 15-20 minutes.
While onions are caramelizing, grate the Gruyère cheese.
After onions have cooked down, add cooked sausage back in.
Add in Dijon mustard, and mix together.
Roll out premade pie crust on a non-stick baking sheet or pizza pan.
Place the sausage and onion mixture into the center of the pie crust.
Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling. Make sure to pleat the dough about every 2 inches.
Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese over the top of the filling.
Use an egg white wash to brush over the crust. This will result in a golden brown crust.
Place on baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees until crust is golden brown, around 25-30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy! You can sprinkle extra thyme on top if you desire.
