Comments


This recipe is nice because though it has a longish cooking time, it really doesn't need you for much of it at all.

You can use 1 tbsp dried thyme instead.

You can make part 1 (up to rolling out the pastry) up to a day or two ahead if needed.

Directions


Prepare the onions and bacon. Set aside.

Heat the oil over low heat, add the onions, bacon and half the thyme and cook until onions are soft and lightly browned - about 40 minutes. Check on them occasionally and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste and the remaining thyme.

Start the oven heating. Roll out the puff pastry, make a 9 inch square and make ridges all round the edge. Spread the onion mixture on top the puff pastry, inside the ridge. Cook until pastry is golden, about 40 minutes.
