Ingredients

500g pack ready-to-roll puff pastry

Flour, for rolling out

1 red onion, chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

15g butter

2 tsp chopped thyme leaves, plus a few leaves to garnish

2 tsp balsamic vinegar

220g Extra Special Tomkin Tomatoes, halved

100g pack Chosen by you Goats Cheese, chopped

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
2
Roll the pastry out to the thickness of a pound coin then cut out 4 rounds using a saucer as a guide.
3
Put on a baking tray. Using the point of a knife, mark a rim around the edge of each tart (take care not to cut right through). Chill for at least 30 minutes.
4
Heat the oil and butter then cook the onion until soft. Add the thyme and vinegar, and simmer until evaporated. Leave to cool.
5
Divide the onion between the pastry cases, spreading it inside the marked rims. Top with the tomatoes, cut-side up, and cheese pieces.
6
Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the tomatoes are softened. Garnish with thyme leaves.
