Ingredients

2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sugar
salt and pepper, to taste
1 sheet store-bought puff pastry
1 cup goat’s cheese, crumbled
100g walnuts, toasted
fresh thyme and rosemary for garnish

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
Sprinkle the sugar over the caramelised onions and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sugar has melted and the onions are slightly caramelised.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a quiche dish, pressing the edges down gently.
Evenly spread the caramelised onions over the puff pastry, leaving a border around the edges.
Crumble the goat’s cheese over the onions.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
Once out of the oven, garnish with toasted walnuts, fresh thyme, and rosemary for a festive touch.
Serve warm and enjoy!
