Cheats goat cheese tart

Ready rolled puff pastry cut to to the shape/size you require - no need to bother pricking it or anything else (I don't make it myself - life is too short and the ready made ones are good quality these days).
Red onions sliced and fried until softened and caramelised then add a good glug of balsamic. Allow to cool and then spread over the base of your pastry, leaving a 1 - 2cm gap around the edge for the "frame" to rise around your tart. Sprinkle over quite a bit of fresh thyme and then either lay a round of goats cheese (if you're using the rinded one) or if younger cheese then just crumble it over. I sometimes then add crumbled walnuts and a drizzle of the same nut oil (in this case walnut) and then in an oven at 180 for about 20 mins until the pastry is golden and the cheese is melted. Served with a nice side salad, warm, it is equally good when cold.
