Equipment
- 1 9-inch tart pan
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 frying pan
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed, about 1 pound
- 2 large onions sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- to taste salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
- 1 egg beaten for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. Season with salt and thyme, and then set aside to cool.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into a circle slightly larger than your tart pan. Transfer the pastry to the tart pan and press it into the sides, trimming any excess.
- Prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
- Spread the cooled caramelized onions evenly over the pastry. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese on top.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden and flaky.
- Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
