Meatless Monday: Onion Tart

I've been eyeing this recipe for awhile and finally decided to make it.  I knew the kids wouldn't eat it, so tonight I did make something different for them.  I had some crescent rolls that I needed to use, so I rolled up some pepperoni and mozzarella inside them and served them with some veggies for the kids.  This tart was delicious and so easy to make.  You do need a little over an hour to make it though, which can make it a little tough as a weeknight dinner.
