Onion Goats Cheese and Thyme Tarts Recipe

50g (2oz) butter
2 small red onions, thinly sliced
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
1 tbs Schwartz Thyme
1/4 tsp Schwartz Garlic Granules
2 sheets ready rolled filo pastry
175g (12oz) goats cheese
1 tbs olive oil

A delicate filo shell holds caramelised red onion and melting goats cheese flavoured with thyme and garlic. Perfect as a dinner party starter.

STEP 1

Pre-heat the oven to 220°C, 435°F, Gas Mark 7. 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.

STEP 2

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.

STEP 3

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.

STEP 4

Chill for 30 minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the cheese is melting. Serve with a few rocket leaves.
