Jean-François Plante's recipe

Ingredients:

4 tbsp. butter

1 tbsp. sugar 

1 tsp. salt

2 sprigs of thyme, leaves only

8 to 10 medium yellow onions, peeled and halved across the width

4 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

100 g herbed goat cheese, crumbled

1 pie crust

Instructions: Preheat oven to 400°F

In a 25 cm frying pan, over medium-low heat, melt the butter with the sugar, salt and thyme. Add the onions, flat side down and caramelize for 5 minutes.

Deglaze the skillet with the balsamic vinegar.

Garnish the onions with the crumbled goat cheese. Place the dough crust on the onions, making sure to cover each one snugly. With a sharp knife, make two small crosses in the middle of the crust to let the steam escape during cooking. Bake for 35 minutes.

Remove the tart tatin from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before forcefully inverting it on a cutting board to unmould it. 

Serve immediately.
