Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 5 medium onions peeled and sliced
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
- 3 sheets puff pastry thawed
- 1 egg cracked in a bowl and whisked
- 150 g fresh figs quartered
- Ground cinnamon
- 4-5 sprigs of thyme leaves stripped off
- 30 g of feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
-
Pre-heat your oven at 190 degrees (375 degrees F).
-
Pre-heat a pot over medium-high heat. Add your vegetable oil, then add your onions and a pinch of salt. Fry for about 5-10 minutes until slightly browned. Add your brown sugar and your balsamic vinegar then stir through. Fry for another 2-3 minutes. Turn the heat off and transfer the onions to a bowl. Cover the bowl with cling film and then put in the fridge to cool.
-
Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Put two sheets of the puff pastry on the tray with one sheet slightly overlapping the other. Get your whisked egg, then use a pastry brush to egg wash the sides of the pastry. Cut strips out of the third sheet of puff pastry, then place those strips on the egg-washed edges of the pastry on the tray. Egg wash the edges of the pastry again. Use a fork to prick some holes in the middle area of the pastry.
-
Once the onions have cooled down, spread them out on the pastry. Then put your fresh figs over the top, evenly spaced out. Sprinkle a few pinches of cinnamon over the top and lastly, sprinkle over your thyme leaves.
-
Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. Once cooked, crumble over the feta cheese and drizzle over your honey. Serve and enjoy.

Recipe Notes
- I recommend going light when adding the honey. You don't want this tart to be too sweet.
- If you got frozen puff pastry sheets, make sure they are fully thawed out before cooking the tart. You don't want to serve a tart with raw pastry in the middle.
