Table of content
Blue Cheese : Blue cheese is renowned for its bold, tangy flavor and characteristic blue veins. Opt for a well-aged blue cheese to bring a rich depth of flavor to your tart. The crumbled texture adds a delightful contrast to the buttery pastry.
Red Onion Marmalade : Our house-made Red Onion Marmalade is the star of this tart, offering a sweet and savory balance with a hint of acidity. It's made with carefully caramelized red onions and infused with aromatic spices, making it a perfect complement to the creamy blue cheese.
Fresh Thyme : Fresh thyme provides a subtle earthy and floral note to the tart, enhancing the overall flavor profile. Use fresh thyme leaves for garnishing to add a touch of freshness and visual appeal to your finished dish.
Egg (beaten) : The beaten egg is used to brush the edges of the puff pastry before baking, creating a golden and glossy finish. This step helps to seal the pastry edges and adds a professional touch to your tart presentation.
Choosing quality ingredients like a premium puff pastry, aged blue cheese, and our flavorful Red Onion Marmalade ensures that each bite of your Blue Cheese Tart with Red Onion Marmalade is a delicious experience worth savoring.

Indulge in a gourmet delight with our Blue Cheese Tart featuring tangy Red Onion Marmalade, a perfect blend of flavors for any occasion!
Assemble Tart: Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to create a border, pressing gently to secure. Spread the Red Onion Marmalade evenly over the center of the puff pastry within the border.
Add Blue Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled Blue Cheese evenly over the red onion marmalade layer.
Prepare for Baking: In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the beaten egg over the edges of the puff pastry border. This will help the pastry achieve a golden brown color when baked.
Bake: Place the assembled tart in the preheated oven and bake according to the puff pastry package instructions or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly on the baking sheet. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves sprinkled over the top for added flavor and a decorative touch. Slice the tart into squares or triangles and serve warm as an appetizer or alongside a salad for a delightful meal.

Yes, you can assemble the tart ahead of time up to the point of baking. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply brush with egg wash and bake according to the recipe instructions.
Absolutely! While blue cheese adds a distinct flavor, you can substitute it with goat cheese, feta, or even shredded Gruyère for a different taste profile. Adjust the amount of cheese to your liking, keeping the balance with the sweet Red Onion Marmalade in mind.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat individual slices in the oven at a low temperature to maintain their texture and flavors. Note that the puff pastry may lose some of its crispiness upon reheating but will still taste delicious!
