Fine andouille de Vire and camembert tart with onion marmalade

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet pre-rolled puff pastry
• 100g finely sliced andouille de Vire
• 150g camembert cheese, sliced into small pieces
• 1 onion, finely sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/400°F/gas mark 6.
2. Unroll the puff pastry sheet and using a rolling pin, roll it out on the baking paper it comes with, into a larger circle.
3. Transfer the rolled-out pastry and baking paper onto a baking tray.
4. Arrange the thinly sliced andouille de Vire over the rolled-out pastry.
5. Add the sliced camembert cheese on top of the andouille de Vire.
6. Place the tart in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
7. Meanwhile, cook the sliced onions in the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat until they are soft and caramelised, around 10 minutes.
8. Add the balsamic vinegar and honey to the frying pan and mix well.
9. Leave to cook for two more minutes until all the flavours have been absorbed and the marmalade is dark and syrupy.
10. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
11. Serve the tart, topped with the onion marmalade, and enjoy!
