Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large onions
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Puff pastry
- 4 ounces of goat cheese
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- Fresh thyme leaves
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
- Caramelize the onions: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 large sliced onions, a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and soft. If they start to stick, add a splash of water to deglaze the pan.
- Prepare the pastry: Roll out your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit your tart pan. Place it in the pan and trim any excess around the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing.
- Make the filling: In a bowl, combine 4 ounces of goat cheese, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 2 large eggs, and a handful of fresh thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Assemble the tart: Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pastry. Pour the goat cheese mixture on top, spreading it out gently.
- Bake: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, let the tart cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional thyme if desired.

Keywords: For an extra crispy crust, you can pre-bake the puff pastry for about 10 minutes before adding the filling. For a touch of sweetness, you could add a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the onions while they are caramelizing.
