Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 8 slices Canadian bacon
- 2 medium yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup gruyère cheese, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry, being careful not to cut through completely. Prick the inner area with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much while baking.
Thinly slice the onions. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until they are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Sprinkle half of the shredded gruyère cheese onto the inner part of the pastry sheet. Evenly distribute the caramelized onions and slices of Canadian bacon on top. Pour the cream and egg mixture over the toppings, ensuring it does not spill over the scored edges.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded gruyère cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the pastry are golden and flaky and the filling is set and lightly browned.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm.
