Ingredients

• 1 Puff pastry sheet
• 3 medium Onions
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Balsamic vinegar
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 wheel (approximately 250g) Camembert cheese
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onions. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat, add the butter, and allow it to melt.

Step 3

Stir in the onions and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened and golden. Add the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the onions to caramelise. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a separate skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease, then chop into small pieces.

Step 5

Roll out the puff pastry sheet onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, lightly score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 6

Using a fork, prick the center of the pastry all over to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

Step 7

Spread the caramelised onions evenly across the center of the pastry, staying within the scored border.

Step 8

Distribute the chopped bacon over the onions, then add slices of Camembert cheese evenly on top. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash to ensure a golden-brown finish.

Step 10

Bake the tart in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
