Onion tarte

I thought I’d try out making an onion tarte today. I wanted something similar to what we’d eaten at the onion festival, which we all loved. I was pretty pleased with the outcome, and it got the thumbs up from my taste testers, who all thought it was delicious.

I started by blind baking the puff pastry for just ten minutes. I used puff pastry as I prefer the lightness it gives a tart.

I caramelised about six, sliced shallots, then popped those into the tart case before crisping off some bacon and adding that in. I peppered it and added a few leaves of thyme, with a sprinkling of Comté cheese. I then whisked up three eggs with some creme fraiche and a bit more pepper. I poured this into the tart case before sprinkling a bit more cheese on and baking it for 20 minutes.

It’s so easy, and definitely worth it.
