Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice the onions.
  2. In an oven-safe skillet (approx. 24 cm diameter) that can also be used on the stovetop, melt butter and olive oil. Add the onions and caramelize over medium-low heat for about 20-25 minutes until very soft and golden brown. Stir occasionally.
  3. Add balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper to the onions. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the liquid has evaporated and the onions are beautifully glazed. Remove the thyme sprig.
  4. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan-assisted/conventional).
  5. If desired, crumble the goat cheese over the onions in the skillet.
  6. Roll out the puff pastry into a circle slightly larger than the skillet. Carefully place it over the onions, tucking the edges down into the skillet.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Remove the tart from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Then place a large plate or serving platter over the skillet and carefully invert the tart. Serve immediately.
