I made this tart because my brother has had a craving for a goats cheese and red onion tart for sometime and we couldn't find one in Tesco's anywhere. I thought this would be very complicated but when split into little seperate tasks it is actually a really easy and delicious tart to make from scratch.
Ingredients:
- 4oz Plain Flour
- 2oz Butter
- 3tbsp Ice Cold Water
- 6 Red Onions
- 2tbsp White Wine Vinegar
- 1tbsp Soft Brown Sugar
- 1tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 150g Goats Cheese
- 2 eggs
- 100ml Milk
Pastry
- Sieve flour and rub in butter (this can be done by blitzing in the mixer).
- Add the water slowly until the mixture has combined.
- Wrap pastry in cling film and place in the fridge for a minimum of 20 mins.
- Thinly slice the red onions and place in a pan with a knob of butter.
- Cook on a high heat until the onions begin to soften.
- Add sugar, white wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar and simmer for 20 mins.
- By adding the sugar this recipe cheats the caramalisation process however the longer you simmer this the better it will be.
- Roll out the pastry to 5 mm thick and place in a lined, buttered, tart tin.
- Trim edges and prick the bottom with a fork.
- Place a sheet of baking paper over the pastry and fill with baking beans - bake for 15 mins at 180 degrees celcius.
- Lift out baking beans and bake for a further 10 mins.
- Place onions in the bottom of the pastry base.
- Cover with crumbled \goats cheese (you could also add some roasted courgettes at this point)
- Whisk together eggs, milk and seasoning of your choice and taste together and pour over the onions and goats cheese.
- Bake at 180 for 25-30 mins
Heat onions until soft
Add sugar and vinegars
