Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

Shallots, rather than onions, form the base for this five-ingredient cheese and onion tart – they become wonderfully sweet after half an hour. Really good for a quick post-work dinner, along with a crunchy green salad.

Ingredients

400g banana/echalion shallots, peeled
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 x 320g sheet of ready-rolled puff pastry
80g mature Cheddar, grated
A few sprigs of fresh thyme
freshly ground black pepper
green salad, to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6. Cut each shallot into four slices lengthways.

Lay out the pastry on a roasting tray lined with baking paper, and spread with the Dijon mustard, leaving a 2.5cm border around the edge. Arrange the flat shallot slices over the top, then scatter over the Cheddar, thyme and black pepper.

Transfer to the oven for 30 minutes. Serve hot with a green salad alongside.
