How to Make Caramelised Onion Bacon Camembert Tart

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Spray a 23cm quiche dish with cooking oil spray.
Fold one sheet of ready-made puff pastry in half lengthwise. Gently press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared dish. Repeat with a second sheet, ensuring a double layer.
Lightly spray between each pastry layer with cooking oil spray.
Trim any excess pastry from the edges.
Blind bake the pastry for 3-4 minutes. (Use pie weights or dried beans if needed to prevent puffing).
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add 2 large onions, thinly sliced, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly on paper towels to drain excess liquid.
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pre-baked pastry base.
Arrange 100g of Camembert cheese, cut into small pieces or slices, over the onions.
Crumble 100g of cooked bacon evenly over the Camembert.
In a bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 150ml of double cream (or low-fat alternative), and 50ml of milk.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the tart.
Sprinkle with 25g of grated Gruyere cheese (or similar).
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
