Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • saute pan
  • bowl

Ingredients

  • 2 sheets Thawed puff pastry (9 by 9 inches)
  • 2 Tablespoon Olive oil
  • 3 cups Thinly sliced onions
  • 4 sprigs Thyme
  • Salt - to taste
  • Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Tablespoon Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Grated Gruyère cheese
  • ½ cup Sun-dried tomatoes roughly chopped (I used Sun dried tomatoes in Olive oil)
  • ¼ cup Olives optional

Instructions

  • Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the manufacturer instructions. Unfold the sheets and lay them on baking sheets. If the pastry sheets are touching each other, lay them on 2 different baking sheets. Using a fork, prick the surface several times, leaving a half a inch border all around.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Now get the prepared sheets in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the sheet base is slightly brown.
  • The sheets could get puffed up in the oven in spite of pricking them. Let the sheets cool on a cooling rack and allow it to settle down. Then transfer it back to the baking sheet.
  • In the mean time, add oil to a large sauté pan and get the onions inside it. I used the olive oil from the Sun Dried tomatoes. Also add the required salt and the thyme to it. Sauté the onions on medium heat until they are evenly caramelized.
  • In a small bowl combine the mustard with the heavy cream. Mix well and once the pastry sheets have cooled down a bit, spread this mixture evenly on the sheets, leaving half an inch border untouched.
  • Now add half the grated cheese to the pastry sheets.
  • Next add the sun dried tomatoes, onions and the olives (if using) and spread the remaining cheese on top.
  • Sun dried tomatoes, Onion and Olives
  • Bake at 400 F for about 15 mins, until the cheese melts.
  • Serve hot!

Notes

Expert Tips and FAQ's
  • Adding the oil from the Sun dried tomatoes, added an extra layer of flavor.
  • My tarts were a little soggy, the reason being that I did not drain the onions in a paper towel before aging it to the pastry sheet. I would highly suggest that rest the caramelized on a paper towel before adding it to the pastry sheet to ensure crisp tart.
  • I added olives to one of the tart as my kids do not like olives too much. It added another layer of flavor. So if you are an olive lover, go ahead and use it.
