Ingredients:

1 cup cherry tomatoes
180g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 red onions
320g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
4 sheets puff pastry
1000g
1 egg
50g
2 cups ricotta cheese
460g
1 tbsp dried oregano
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prepare the Onions:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the thinly sliced red onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they start to soften (about 5 minutes).
- Add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes or until the onions are sticky and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Pastry:
- Lay the 4 sheets of puff pastry on a clean surface. If necessary, roll them out to ensure they fit your baking tray. You can overlap and press the edges together if you need a larger sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry sheets, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will help the edges rise and create a crust.
4. Assemble the Tart:
- Spread the 2 cups of ricotta cheese evenly over the center of the puff pastry, avoiding the 1-inch border.
- Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of dried oregano over the ricotta cheese.
- Evenly distribute the caramelized onions over the ricotta layer.
- Place the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the onions, cut side up, gently pressing them into the mixture.
5. Brush with Egg Wash:
- Lightly brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg. This will give the tart a nice golden finish when it bakes.
6. Bake the Tart:
- Place the assembled tart on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
7. Serve:
- Allow the tart to cool slightly before cutting.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- For an extra burst of flavor, consider roasting the cherry tomatoes before adding them to the tart to enhance their sweetness.

- Make sure the puff pastry is properly thawed before handling to prevent cracking.

- You can substitute fresh oregano for dried oregano if you prefer, using a bit more to accommodate the stronger flavor of fresh herbs.

- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg wash for a beautifully golden and shiny finish.

- Let the caramelized onions cook slowly on a low flame to ensure they become soft and sticky without burning.

This Tomato, Ricotta, and Sticky Red Onion Tart brings together a perfect harmony of flavors and textures, making it a delightful addition to your meal repertoire. With its crispy puff pastry, creamy ricotta, and sweet caramelized onions topped with vibrant cherry tomatoes, this tart will impress anyone at your table.
