CARAMELISED ONION TART

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Slide a baking sheet in to heat. Roll the pastry out enough to line a deep 20cm flan tin or a shallow 23cm one. Chill for 10 mins.
• Put a few balls of crumpled foil in the base of the pastry case and bake on the baking sheet for 10 mins. Remove the foil and bake for 5 mins more, until light golden.
• Meanwhile, cook the onions in the oil until starting to soften, then add thyme, pepper, and salt if you want to. Cook slowly for about 15 mins until the onions are soft and tinged brown.
• Beat the eggs, beat in the milk and half the cheese and some pepper. Spread the onions over the flan case and pour in the egg mix. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake the tart on the baking sheet for 30-40 mins until the filling is firm and golden, and the pastry crisp. Serve warm or cold.

CARAMELIZED ONION, FIG & GRUYERE TART WITH FRESH THYME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Lay thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and roll until approximately 10" wide and 16" long. Carefully transfer puff pastry to a baking sheet. Trim edges if desired for a neater look, and prick the pastry several times with a fork.
• Bake the puff pastry sheet for about 10 minutes until puffed and golden. Remove from oven.
• In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil and butter until melted. Add the onions and saute, stirring occasionally, until soft, golden brown, and caramelized, about 40 minutes. Add thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, and vegetable broth to the onions and continue to cook over medium-low heat for about five minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
• Carefully spread 1/3 cup fig jam over the puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Evenly spread the onions over the top, then sprinkle with the Gruyere cheese.
• Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 - 5 more minutes or until the cheese melts.
• Garnish with additional thyme leaves and serve immediately. This tart may be made several hours ahead and reheated before serving, but I recommend baking it right before serving, otherwise the pastry gets a tad soggy.

CARMELIZED ONION AND GRUYERE TART

Steps:

• 1.Make the tarts: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix Gruyère, cream cheese, mustard, oregano, and pepper in a small bowl and set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet, add onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until dark brown and caramelized -- about 1 hour. Stir in the thyme and set aside. With a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry dough into 8 equal-sized pieces. Roll each piece out to 8- by 6-inch rectangle. Spread about 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border all the way around. Top with 1/4 cup of the caramelized onions and 1 tablespoon of the olives. If freezing, skip to Step 2 or bake tarts on parchment-lined baking pans for 10 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 375°F, and bake until puffed and golden -- about 12 more minutes. 2.Freeze the tarts: Place uncooked tarts on parchment-lined baking pans, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until solid -- about 2 hours. Wrap each frozen tart securely in freezer paper or aluminum foil and stack them in an airtight container. Store frozen for up to 2 months. To serve, bake frozen tarts at 400°F for 12 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 375°F, and bake until puffed and golden -- about 15 more minutes.
