Tomato, onion & goat’s cheese tart

Shop-bought pastry is great for this quick tart - and an array of other toppings. Your only effort is to soften onions and create that tempting aroma in the kitchen, before baking and serving with a crisp green salad ...

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 500gms All Butter Puff Pastry

• 1 egg, beaten with a pinch of salt (egg wash)

• 1 large onion, finely sliced

• Olive oil

• Small bunch thyme, chopped

• 80gms soft goat's cheese or curd

• 350-400gms ripe heritage tomatoes, tossed with a little olive oil & seasoning

• Salt & Pepper

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°c.

2. Soften the onion in a pan with a good glug of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until soft and slightly caramelised. Add the chopped thyme. Allow to cool.

3. Roll the pastry to form a rectangle approx. 28x18cm and 5mm thick. Use a strip of pastry to form an edge all the way round.

4. Place on a flat baking tray lined with baking parchment.

5. Prick the base with a fork, and brush with egg wash.

6. Fill the pastry base with the onion mixture, and crumble over with cheese.

7. Top with sliced tomatoes, or if small as we used, simply halved and place in the oven for 25 mins until golden.

8. Allow to cool slightly and serve with a crisp green salad.
