How to Make Onion And Goat's Cheese Flan

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the pastry: Roll out your shortcrust pastry (either homemade or store-bought) and gently line a 9-inch tart pan. Trim and crimp the edges.
  3. Caramelize the onions: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until softened and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Prepare the custard: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, goat cheese, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Gently stir in the caramelized onions.
  5. Assemble the flan: Pour the onion and goat cheese mixture into the prepared pastry crust.
  6. Bake: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set and golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving.
  7. Serve: Enjoy warm or cold! Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs before serving for an extra touch of elegance.
