Cheeseboard & onion tart

No comments

You've heard of four-cheese pizza? well here's a three-cheese tart, a delicious way to use up the remains of the cheeseboard and perfect for lunch over the holidays. Add any cheese you like, but a mix of something blue, something creamy and a mature cheddar works well. I've included a pastry recipe in case you've got lots of butter to eat up, too - but you can always use a pack of readymade shortcrust instead

Ingredients

FOR THE PASTRY
250g/9oz plain flour, plus extra for rolling
125g/4 1/2 oz butter, cold and cubed
1/2 tsp salt
FOR THE FILLING
2 onions, sliced into rings
1 tbsp oil
2 eggs
284ml pot double cream

Serves: 8 Preparation: 15 Cook Time: 65 Total Time: 80min

Roll pastry out on a floured surface until large enough to line a cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Line the tin with the pastry, leaving any excess pastry overhanging. Line with baking paper, then fill with baking beans. Bake on a baking sheet for mins. Take out the paper and beans, then bake for mins more until pale golden and cooked.
