Goat's cheese tart

Line a 9in / 22cm tin with shortcrust pastry (buy the pastry). Keep in the fridge while waiting to make the filling.

Chop 6 large onions and saute slowly in oil for 30mins until you have a jam-like consistency. Do not burn or brown - hence the slow cooking. Leave aside.

Filling:

340g goat's cheese garlic 'n herbs
240ml cream
3 eggs
Fist of fresh basil

Whizz all four filling ingredients in a food processor or liquidiser.

Now assemble your dish. Put saute'd onions into the tin on top of the pastry. Pour cheese filling on top. Bake 180 celcius for 30-40mins until filling is slightly brown on top and not runny to the touch.

Enjoy as a special treat.
