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 onion, 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 or until a ball forms.
2. Roll out pastry and line a flan dish then put in fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably covered to maintain the right humidity.
3. Finely slice onion (half rings are a great shape for this pie).
4. Caramelise onions for 20 minutes in the olive oil, stirring occasionally.
5. Beat eggs, milk, and cream using a hand blender.
6. Preheat a fan oven to 170°C.
7. Get flan dish out of the fridge and place cheese, onions, and thyme over pricked base.
8. 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.
