Caramelised Onion, Goat Cheese & Thyme Tarts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Pre-heat the oven to 435\u00b0F
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.
