Sweet onion and blue cheese tart


Sweet onion and blue cheese tart
300g puff pastry
2 handfuls baby onions
100ml olive oil
2 sprigs thyme
½ head garlic lightly crushed (or two teaspoons crushed garlic)
100g butter
60ml sugar
Equal quantities blue cheese and cream cheese to serve

Pre heat oven to 180. Place the onions onto a baking tray lined with foil. Drizzle with olive oil. Top with thyme, garlic and season. Place another layer on top and seal tightly. Cook for 20-30 minutes until almost soft. Peel the onions once they are cooler.
In a pan, melt the butter and add the onions and sugar, caramelize until lightly browned.
Roll out pastry to a 5cm thickness and cut into a shape (square or round). Place onions on top of the pastry, leaving a rim around the edges. Top with thyme.
Bake until well risen for 15-20 minutes. Serve hot with a spoonful of the blue cheese/cream cheese mix.
