Goat's cheese flan

Ingredients

Pastry

(Note this is mixed units but this makes exactly the right amount of pastry for my flan dish!)

• 5oz plain flour
• 1.25oz lard
• 1.25oz butter
• 25ml cold water

Filling

• 7.5ml olive oil
• 1 medium onions sliced thinly into half-moon slices
• 115ml whipping cream
• 2 medium eggs
• 1 medium egg yolk
• 1ml teaspoon salt
• 0.5ml teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
• 15ml fresh thyme chopped
• 2oz fresh goat cheese crumbled

Directions

1. Make pastry and line an 8" flan dish.
   If using a Kenwood Chef or food processor put all ingredients for the pastry food processor jug with the knife blade in situ. Beat for 1 minute 20 seconds or until a ball forms then put in fridge for 30 minutes.
2. Finely slice onion (half rings are a great shape for this pie).
3. Caramelise onions for 20 minutes in the olive oil, stirring occasionally.
4. Beat eggs, milk, and cream using a hand blender.
5. Preheat a fan oven to 170°C.
6. Get flan dish out of the fridge and place cheese, onions, and thyme over pricked base.
7. Pour the cream mix over it and then bake at 170°C for 35 minutes.

Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving - I use this time to boil some green veg.
