Ingredients
  

  • Puff pastry - 1 package 490g/2 sheets, defrosted puff pastry
  • Olive oil - good quality olive oil
  • Onions - 2 large/200g thinly sliced onions
  • Garlic cloves - 3 large cloves cut into thin slivers
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Ground black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Dry white wine - 45ml dry white wine
  • Fresh thyme leaves - 2 tsp minced thyme leaves
  • Parmesan cheese - 25g freshly grated plus 55g shaved parmesan
  • Goat's cheese - 110g goats cheese plain or any flavor you like
  • Tomato - 1 large tomato cut into 4 slices
  • Basil leaves - 3 tbsp julienned basil leaves

Instructions
 

  • Roll out a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to an approximately 28x28cm/11x11-inch square.
  • Cut out 2 circles using a 15cm/6inch wide saucer or other round object as a guide.
  • Repeat with the second pastry sheet to make a total of 4 circles.
  • Place the pastry circles on parchment-lined sheet pans and refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 210°C/410°F/gas mark 7.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Add the sliced onions and garlic, and sauté for 15 to 20 minutes until the onions are tender and translucent.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and add the white wine and minced thyme.
  • Cook for another 10 minutes until the onions are lightly browned.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Mark a 1cm / 2-inch wide border with a knife around each pastry circle.
  • Prick the pastry inside the scored lines with a fork.
  • Sprinkle a tablespoon of grated Parmesan on each circle, staying within the border.
  • Spread 1/4 of the onion mixture inside each circle, keeping within the scored border.
  • Crumble 1/4 of the goat cheese on top of the onions.
  • Place a tomato slice in the center of each tart.
  • Brush the tomato lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper.
  • Toss 4 or 5 Parmesan shavings on each tart.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.

Notes

  • If using two sheet pans, the bottom one may require a few extra minutes in the oven. Serve the tarts hot or warm.
  • Ensure the puff pastry is properly defrosted before working with it to achieve the best results.
  • Take your time to caramelize the onions and garlic slowly for maximum flavor.
  • Experiment with different types of goat's cheese, such as herbed or flavored varieties, to add your own twist to the recipe.
  • Garnish the finished tarts with additional fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
