Onion Marmalade, Goat's Cheese and Thyme Tart

A classic combination of onion marmalade and chèvre, with fresh thyme and a rich custard. It’s perfect for lunch served with a fresh green salad. The pastry is not difficult to make, but buy a good quality shortcrust if you prefer.

INGREDIENTS

1 x 370g jar of Hanks Onion Marmalade
100g Meredith Dairy Chèvre
6 sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves only
3 large eggs
150ml cream
Sea salt flakes and freshly ground pepper

Shortcrust Pastry
180g unsalted butter, cubed
240g plain flour
Pinch of salt

Serves 6

This has been made in a 13cm x 35cm tin. There is enough pastry for a 22cm-24cm tin as an alternative.
Firstly make your pastry.
Combine butter, flour and salt in a food processor and process just until pastry starts to come together, add 1-2tbsp iced water and process until pastry forms a ball. Remove from processor, shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and put into the fridge for half an hour.
Preheat oven to 200C. Roll out pastry and place in the tin of your choice. Line the tin with baking paper, and fill with dried baking beans. Put into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Remove baking paper and beans, let cool, and reduce oven to 180C.
Whisk eggs with cream, combine with Onion Marmalade, and season with salt and pepper. Pour into pastry case, dot with the crumbled Meredith Dairy Chèvre and scatter the thyme leaves on top. Put in oven and bake for 20-30 minutes until the filling is set. Serve warm.
