This is a very good tart. I was unsure about the amount of mustard--it was just fine. And the mint provides a very nice touch of flavor and color. My only complaint: the carmelized onions are so sweet that some counter note is necessary--perhaps some prosciutto or pancetta or ham, perhaps some pesto would provide some balance to the very sweet onions. I will certainly try this again.
