Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Puff Pastry Tart
Golden, flaky, tangy, and sweet, this tart looks sophisticated but requires almost no effort.
This tart is a perfect example of how a few ingredients can turn into something that feels restaurant worthy. Puff pastry becomes a golden, crisp base for deeply caramelized onions, creamy goat cheese, and a hint of thyme. It works as an appetizer, a light lunch, or a standout addition to a dinner party spread. Serve it warm with a simple green salad and it feels like a small occasion all on its own.
Ingredients
• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 3 large onions, thinly sliced

• Honey, for finishing (optional)
Instructions
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, salt, and pepper. Cook until deeply golden and jammy, about 25 minutes. Stir in thyme.

Spread caramelized onions inside the border. Crumble goat cheese over the top.
Brush edges with beaten egg.
