French Onion Tart


No no its not PJ’s infamous egg tart. It is French Onion Tart this time. I only made one tart cause I never had onion tarts before and I didn’t know if I would like it. Surprisingly, it was pretty good despite being a bit burnt.

French Onion Tart

Serves 4
Ingredients:
Quick Flaky pastry:
4oz butter
6 oz flour
Pinch of salt

Filling:
2tbsp olive oil
4 large onions thinly sliced
3tbsp vinegar
2tbsp muscovado sugar
A little egg beaten or milk
6 oz cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius.
Make the pastry. Chill for 30 mins in the refrigerator.
Cook the onion until soft and brown with the vinegar and the sugar. Cool it.
Roll out the pastry into a circle. Spread cheese in the center and leave a bit of border.
Add caramelised onion on top of the cheese.
Fold the edges and brush with egg or milk.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 20-25 mins.
