Goat's cheese flan

Ingredients

Pastry

• 1 quantity of Savour short crust pastry.

Filling

• 7.5ml olive oil.
• 1 medium onion, sliced thinly into half-moon slices.
• 115ml whipping cream.
• 50ml milk.
• 1 large egg.
• 1 large egg yolk (optional).
• 1ml teaspoon salt.
• ½ml teaspoon black pepper freshly ground.
• 15ml fresh thyme chopped
  Or
  5ml dried thyme.
• 2oz fresh goat cheese crumbled.

Directions

1. Follow instructions in Savoury short crust pastry - bear in mind this needs to be done at least 30 minutes before the rest!
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.
