• Easy to Make: Using store-bought puff pastry simplifies the process, making it accessible for even beginner cooks.
• Impressive Presentation: The golden-brown crust and bubbling cheese make this tart a visual masterpiece.

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, can substitute with vegetable broth)
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, or until deeply caramelized and golden brown. This step is crucial for developing the rich flavor.
3. Stir in brown sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper. If using, deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for a few minutes. Add vegetable broth and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until slightly reduced.
4. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border.
6. Sprinkle with Gruyere and Parmesan cheese.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Tips and Variations:

• For a richer flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar during the last few minutes of caramelizing the onions.
• Experiment with different cheeses! Fontina or Emmental would also be delicious.
• Add a layer of sauteed mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
• Serve with a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
