Ingredients

• Almond flour - 150g
• Butter - 50g, melted
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1/2 tsp
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp
• Onions - 2 medium, thinly sliced
• Thyme - 1 tsp, dried
• Cream cheese - 100g, softened
• Grated Gruyère cheese - 100g
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Press the dough into a 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the base with a fork.
4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
5. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized.
6. Add thyme and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
7. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the grated Gruyère until well combined.
8. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the pre-baked crust, then layer the caramelized onions on top.
9. Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm.
