Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 Cipollini onions
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Blanch the cipollini onions for 2 minutes, then transfer them to an ice water bath. Peel the skins and set aside.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peeled cipollini onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown.
Sprinkle sugar over the onions and continue cooking for 2 minutes to caramelize. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry to a 10x12-inch rectangle. Transfer the pastry to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Use a sharp knife to score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry, taking care not to cut all the way through. Prick the center of the pastry with a fork to prevent it from puffing up unevenly.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Brush the border of the pastry with the egg wash.
Spread the goat cheese evenly over the center of the pastry inside the border. Top with the caramelized onions, spreading them out in an even layer.
Sprinkle thyme leaves, salt, and pepper over the tart.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking for even browning.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into squares or slices.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
