Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl for dough
  • 1 pan for cooking onions
  • 1 oven preheated to 375°F (190°C)
  • 1 tart pan for assembling tart

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g goat cheese log chèvre, sliced
  • 4 onions thinly sliced
  • 10 walnut halves roughly chopped
  • A few slices dried duck breast magret de canard séché
  • Thyme to taste
  • 10 cl white wine
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 60 g milk
  • 60 g liquid cream
  • 200 g flour
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine flour and salt, then add milk and cream; mix until dough forms.
  • Knead dough briefly until smooth, wrap, and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Cook the sliced onions in a pan with oil or butter over medium heat until soft and lightly caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add white wine to the onions and cook until it evaporates, then season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out the dough and place it in a tart pan, spreading the caramelized onions evenly over the base.
  • Top with slices of goat cheese, sprinkle with walnuts, and add pieces of dried duck breast.
  • Bake the tart for 30 to 35 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is slightly melted.
  • Let the tart cool slightly before slicing, then serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Substitute dried duck with bacon or omit for a vegetarian tart.
  • Drizzle honey over the tart for a sweet-savory twist.
  • Pair with a green salad for a complete meal.
