Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 80 g (2.8oz) butter; 2 large brown onions, thinly sliced; 1 tbsp sugar; 1 pinch of salt; 2 tbsp white wine; 3 sprigs thyme, leaves picked; 200 g (7.1oz) feta cheese; 150 g (5.3oz) plain (all-purpose) flour; 50 g (1.8oz) chilled butter, cut into cubes; 1 pinch of salt; 3 tbsp chilled water

Servings: persons

1
To make the savoury pastry, put the flour, butter and salt into a food processor.
2
Using the pulse button, process until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
3
While still processing, slowly add the water to the mixture in a steady stream, until the mixture comes together to form a dough.
4
Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and flatten the dough into a disc, then wrap in plastic wrap.
5
Place the dough in the refrigerator to rest for at least 30 minutes.
6
Preheat the oven to 170C (340F).
7
Place the dough on a floured work surface and roll it out to a 3 mm (?
8
inch) thickness.
9
Use an 8 cm (3 inch) cookie cutter to cut the dough into discs, then line a 24-hole mini tart tin with the pastry.
10
Transfer the tin to the refrigerator and let the pastry set for 20 minutes.
11
Remove and prick the pastry bases a few times with a fork.
12
Blind bake the tart cases for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
13
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool a little, then take the pastry cases out of the tin and rest on a wire rack until completely cool.
14
To caramelise the onions, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
15
Add the onions, sugar and salt and saute for about 35-40 minutes, or until the onions are softened and golden brown.
16
Stir frequently so the onions don't catch on the pan and burn.
17
When the onions are soft, deglaze the pan with the wine, add the thyme leaves and cook until all the liquid has evaporated.
18
Set aside to cool.
19
Turn the oven back to 170C (340F).
20
Fill the tart cases with the caramelised onion, then top with the feta.
21
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted slightly.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
