Onion & goat's cheese tarts

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll out to 5mm thick.

Step 2

Use a 7.5cm pastry cutter to cut out 8 rounds. Lay 4 rounds on the prepared baking tray and brush with egg. Using a 5cm cutter, cut a hole in the centre of the remaining 4 rounds, discarding the small circles, and sit the rings on top of the bases, pressing gently to seal.

Step 3

Bake the tart shells for 5 minutes or until lightly puffed. Gently press down the centre of the pastry and fill the cavity with onion jam. Sit a round of goat cheese on top and scatter with thyme leaves.

Step 4

Drizzle with oil and bake for a further 8-10 minutes until the pastry is puffed and crisp and the cheese is starting to melt.

Step 5

Drizzle tarts with honey, if using, and serve with watercress on the side.
