Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a 9-inch round baking dish on the stovetop over medium heat.
-
Add the butter and olive oil to the baking dish, allowing the butter to melt. Once melted, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bottom of the dish.
-
Layer the thinly sliced onions on top of the sugar in a circular pattern, filling the dish completely. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the onions, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Allow the onions to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are caramelized and softened.
-
While the onions are cooking, roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to fit the size of your baking dish. Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
Carefully place the puff pastry over the caramelized onions in the baking dish, tucking in the edges slightly to encase the onions.
-
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and flaky.
-
Once baked, remove the Tarte Tatin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Place a serving plate over the baking dish, then carefully flip it over to unmold the Tarte Tatin onto the plate.
-
Garnish the Onion Tarte Tatin with fresh thyme leaves for a pop of color and added flavor.
