Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 red onions, sliced into thick wedges
- 200 grams small cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 50 grams goat cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 1 all-butter puff pastry sheet
- 1 tablespoon plain flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Add the red onion wedges to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring gently, until they begin to soften.
Add the cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the liquid to slightly reduce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the vegetables evenly to create a flat surface. Ensure there are no large gaps as this will form the top layer of the tarte tatin once inverted.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to slightly larger than the skillet's diameter. Carefully place it over the vegetables, tucking the edges down around the sides of the skillet to encase the filling.
Using a sharp knife, make 2-3 small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Carefully place a large plate or serving dish over the skillet, then quickly invert to release the tarte tatin onto the plate.
If desired, crumble goat cheese over the top for added creaminess and flavor.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your savoury tarte tatin!
