What is an Onion Tart?

An onion tart is a fantastic finger food appetizer that can be served for any occasion and any guest! You start out with a large puff pastry, and you top it with some onions that have been cooked and caramelized in sugar. Once you add the caramelized onion to the puff pastry, you add some cheese and thyme, and then you bake them together! Slice it up and serve it to your guests on a platter!
