Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces butter
2 red onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
2 sheets ready rolled phyllo pastry
12 ounces goat cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 435°F
  • Melt half the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat.
  • Add the onions and cook for 25-30 minutes until soft and golden. Stir in the sugar, balsamic vinegar, Thyme and Garlic Granules. Leave to cool.
  • Melt the remaining butter. Unroll the pastry sheets and cut each one into four. In a patty tin, layer two quarters on top of each other, brushing lightly with butter between the sheets and on top.
  • Spoon 1/4 of the onions into the centre and set aside.
  • Repeat with the remaining pastry and onions to make 4 tarts. Place a slice of cheese on top of the onions on each tart. Lightly brush the edges of the pastry with butter.
  • Chill for 30 minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the cheese is melting. Serve with a few salad leaves.
