  • 1 ½ cups AP Flour, sifted
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of sugar
  • cup cold water – approx.
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds

For the filling:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 cups chopped kale, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs - thyme, oregano, parsley, chopped
  • 3 tbsp Boursin shallot and chive cheese
  • ½ cup Parmesan grated
  • 1 large egg
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing the dough.

For the dough:

  • Using a handheld cheese grater, grate butter into a small bowl, then freeze for 10 minutes.
  • While butter freezes, combine flour, salt, and sugar in large mixing bowl.
  • Place cold grated butter and flour mixture in a food processor and pulse until you get mealy texture.
  • Slowly begin adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until dough takes shape.
  • Dump the dough onto lightly floured surface before shaping into a flattened round. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 45 minutes until dough is firm and cold.
  • While the dough chills, prepare the filling.

For the filling:

  • In a large skillet over low heat, heat the oil.
  • Add onions and stir to coat.
  • Cook over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden brown. This takes time (30 to 35 minutes).
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

To assemble:

  • Roll out the chilled dough into a ⅛″ thick sheet, then transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet (you can use store bought if you prefer).
  • Spread a thin layer of dijon mustard on the dough leaving a border of 2 inches.
  • Spread the chopped kale and half the herbs and half the cheese over the mustard. Pile the caramelized onions over the kale and spread evenly, leaving a 2 inch border.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the herbs and the rest of the cheeses over onion filling.
  • Fold edges of dough over filling, pleating as you fold.
  • Brush dough with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Bake on the middle rack for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting.
