Ingredients
  

1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

3 large onions (red or yellow), thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt & pepper to taste

4 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 egg (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Caramelize Onions: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally for about 20-25 minutes, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

      Add Flavor: Stir in the balsamic vinegar, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

        Prepare Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit your baking sheet. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet and prick it all over with a fork to prevent puffing.

          Add Onion Mixture: Spread the caramelized onion mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

            Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and shredded mozzarella evenly over the onions.

              Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the edges of the pastry with it to give it a golden brown color while baking.

                Bake: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.

                  Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before slicing.

                    Serve: Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your savory masterpiece!
