Another simple british classic bt MrM. Once again, I was initially skeptical, thinking the tart would be heavy and stodgy. Instead, flavours were rounded and balanced, and this ended up being a really good option for a quick tasty dinner.
Ingredients for 4 people: 300g mature cheddar 4 large red onions 50ml milk (using milk instead of cream will make the tart a lot lighter) 300g shortcrust pastry EVO oil salt and pepper
Preparation:
If using frozen pastry, make sure it is properly thawed before using.
Finely slice the onions, sweat in a hot pan with some EVO oil for a few minutes, then cover with a lid and let them gently steam for at least 20 minutes, stirring every now and then to make sure they don't burn.
Grate the cheddar in a bowl and combine with the onions when ready. Season and add the milk to soften the mixture.
Roll the pastry to the desired shape, put in a baking tray lined with parchment and spoon in the mixture. Cook in the oven for 25-30 mins at 180 degrees fan. Serve with green salad.
