  • Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in carrots and 1 tablespoon wine or vinegar and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Spread mustard over the crust. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and then evenly spread the carrot mixture in the tart shell.

  • Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and pour in the filling.
