Ingredients Needed:

• Olive oil
• 2 large onions, red or white, halved and thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry
• 150g (5oz) goat’s cheese

How To Make Caramelised Onion and Goat’s Cheese Tart Recipe?

1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 200°C. Grease two baking sheets.
2. Cook the onions: Heat olive oil in a pan over low heat. Add the onions and cook for 20 minutes until soft. Stir in honey, soy sauce, thyme, and black pepper, then cook for another 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of cold water, stir well, then remove from heat and let cool.
3. Prepare the pastry: Cut the puff pastry sheet in half lengthways and place each piece on a baking sheet. Lightly score a 5cm/2in the border around the edges.
4. Assemble the tart: Spread the caramelized onions evenly inside the borders, then top with slices of goat’s cheese.
5. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, until golden and crisp.

Recipe Tips:

• Cook the onions slowly: Let the onions cook on low heat for at least 20 minutes. This makes them soft, sweet, and full of flavor. If you rush this step, the onions may taste bitter.
• Score the pastry lightly: When marking the border on the pastry, don’t cut all the way through. A light score helps the edges rise and stay crispy while baking.
• Use cold pastry: Keep the puff pastry in the fridge until you are ready to use it. If it gets too warm, it won’t puff up properly in the oven.
• Spread onions evenly: Make sure the caramelized onions are spread in a thin, even layer. If they are too thick, the pastry underneath may stay soft and not cook well.
• Bake until golden brown: The tart is ready when the edges are crispy and golden. If the middle looks pale, give it a few more minutes to bake for the best texture.

How To Store Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover tart cool completely to room temperature. Then, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Let the tart cool down fully, then wrap it tightly in cling film or foil. Store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
