Add cold diced butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.<\/li>\n<li>Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough comes together and forms a ball.<\/li>\n<li>Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Roll out the chilled pastry dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle large enough to fit a tart pan.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the rolled-out dough to a tart pan, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough from the edges.<\/li>\n<li>Prick the bottom of the pastry crust with a fork, then line it with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.<\/li>\n<li>Bake the pastry crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.<\/li>\n<li>While the pastry crust is baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in balsamic vinegar and cook for another minute to deglaze the skillet. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.<\/li>\n<li>Spread caramelized onions evenly over the partially baked pastry crust. Scatter crumbled goat cheese and fresh thyme leaves over the top.<\/li>\n<li>Season Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Tart with salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n<li>Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.<\/li>\n<li>Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this sophisticated and flavorful tart as an appetizer or light meal!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buttery Crust, Sweet Onions, Tangy Goat Cheese \u2013 Crafting the Perfect Tart<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":331,"featured_media":31849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[417,2163],"class_list":["post-31847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-drinks","tag-food","tag-recipes"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/331"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
