Whether you prefer a pastry or potato topping, and fillings of mixed fish, tender meat, robust veggies or juicy fruit, a pie is always a winner!

Enjoy this very simple recipe for one of our favourite savoury puff pastry tarts (which is basically a topless pie). Brie and red onion make perfect partners, though you could use any variety of cheese and white onions if you prefer.
 

 

Brie & Red Onion Tart Recipe

 
Serves 6

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 50 minutes

Delicious served hot or cold

Ingredients

50g butter

3 large red onions (or 4 medium size)

200g puff pastry (ready rolled)

120g brie

Spinach

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (check pastry packaging for details).
2. Peel, then thickly slice the onions.
3. In a pan, cook the onions slowly over a low heat in the butter until soft and lightly browned (roughly 30 minutes – slow cooking gives onions a delicious caramelised flavour).
4. Add the spinach to the pan and leave until the spinach has wilted.
5. Unroll the pastry onto some parchment paper on a shallow baking tray. Lightly score the border about 2cm inside the pastry.



6. Spread out the onions and spinach up to the border you created. Then tear the brie into small pieces and dot around.
7. Brush the border of the pastry with the butter from the onions.
8. Bake for around 20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
