Tarte Tatin aux Tomates

Ingredients

• 6 medium tomatoes
• 1 sheet puff pastry
• 1 large onion
• 2 teaspoons thyme
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Slice the onion thinly. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

3. 3

   Add the sugar, salt, and black pepper to the onions. Stir well and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onions begin to caramelize.

4. 4

   While the onions are cooking, wash and slice the tomatoes into thick rounds. Once the onions are caramelized, remove the skillet from heat.

5. 5

   Arrange the tomato slices on top of the caramelized onions in a circular pattern, overlapping slightly. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes and sprinkle with thyme.

6. 6

   Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit over the skillet. Carefully place the pastry over the tomatoes, tucking the edges down around the sides of the skillet.

7. 7

   Brush the top of the pastry with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Use a sharp knife to cut a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape.

8. 8

   Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

9. 9

   Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Carefully invert the tart onto a serving plate.

10. 10

    Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm or at room temperature.
