friday food/3

for this weeks friday food i thought...this looks good! a french onion tart constructed over at the english kitchen.

do you guys like french onion soup? ooooooh, i love it! especially if there's alot of cheese and some delicious chunk of beautiful bread to soak up the soup and onions. my mouth is watering already. no really it is, even in the early hours of the morning.

the recipe seems pretty straight forward.
here's how it goes...

Your favourite soup in a tart. delicious!

1 sheet of all butter puff pastry, thawed if frozen
6 medium brown onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1 banana shallot, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 TBS butter
1 TBS olive oil
1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp liquid beef stock extract
8 TBS finely grated parmesan cheese
4 slices of jarlsberg or gruyere cheese
8 buttery round crackers
