Caramelised Onion and Blue Cheese Tart
Caramelised Onion and Blue Cheese Tart

Ingredients

Method

  • 1 sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 sprigs of thyme
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 sliced onions
  • 2 red chicory, sliced in half lengthwise
  • ½ lemon, juice only
  • 75g blue cheese
  • 1 tbsp toasted macadamia nuts
  • Preheat the oven to 200C and cut a circle of pastry to fit a round ovenproof frying pan. Place the pastry on a baking sheet and chill in the fridge for 30 mins. Heat the butter, oil and thyme in a pan to melt the butter, then stir in the sugar. Place the onion rounds and chicory - cut-side down - into the frying pan, then season and leave to caramelise for 10 mins. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, then remove from the heat.
  • Place the pastry circle on top of the ingredients and press down the edges to encase. Pierce the pastry a few times with a knife, then bake for 40 mins or until golden and puffed. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then turn out onto a plate. Season, scatter with pieces of cheese and the macadamia nuts, then serve while still warm.
