Sweet & Savory Onion Pear Tart

Today’s Special: Caramelized Onion and Pear Tart

Hey there, foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you a delightful recipe that combines the sweetness of caramelized onions with the juiciness of ripe pears in a buttery tart. This dish is perfect for a cozy fall evening or a special brunch with friends. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• 2 red onions (200g), thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp butter (40g)
• 2 tbsp sugar (25g)
• 2 ripe pears (300g), thinly sliced
• 1 sheet of puff pastry (200g), thawed
• 100g goat cheese, crumbled
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• skillet
• rolling pin
• baking sheet

I start by melting the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is sizzling, I add in the sliced red onions and sugar. I cook them, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until they are nicely caramelized and golden brown. Then, I add in the sliced pears and cook for another 5 minutes until they are softened. I season the mixture with salt and pepper.

Next, I roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to fit a baking sheet. I transfer the pastry to the baking sheet and spread the caramelized onion and pear mixture evenly on top. I crumble the goat cheese over the tart and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.

I bake the tart in a preheated oven at 200°C for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crispy. Once out of the oven, I let it cool slightly before slicing into squares.

One clever tip is to sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of the tart before baking to create a shiny, caramelized finish on the pastry.
