Yes, I know I just did a different puff pastry recipe last week, and no, I won’t apologize for it. What can I say? I just love puff pastry dough! Not making it though…that stuff is a pain (thank you, frozen food section!)
It’s just such a fun ingredient to play with – a blank canvas if you will. So after I made that sweet peach version last week, I decided I should make a savory option as well. This one is a great recipe for an appetizer that you can serve without a lot of fuss.
This flaky puff pastry is topped with sweet caramelized onions, tangy goat cheese, and a little sprinkle of fresh thyme. Yum!
Caramelized Onion, Goat Cheese and Thyme Puff Pastry Tart
This flaky puff pastry is topped with sweet caramelized onions, tangy goat cheese, and a little sprinkle of fresh thyme. Yum!
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 onions, roughly chopped
- salt
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 puff pastry dough sheet, thawed
- 8 ounces goat cheese
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
-
Pour olive oil in large cast iron skillet or sauce pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 35 minutes. Mix in the brown sugar and season with salt. Let it come to room temperature.
-
While the onions are cooling, place goat cheese in a small bowl. Add black pepper and stir goat cheese until easily spreadable.
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Place the puff pastry on the baking sheet. Spread the goat cheese over the tart, leaving a 1/2 inch border on all sides. Top the tart evenly with the onions and sprinkle with thyme. Back until the crust is golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.
-
Let the tart cool for 15 minutes. Cut into 9 squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
