Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onion Tart


So finally here I start again with the first recipe of the year. I took a long blog break and I enjoyed the xmas holidays and the rest of the weekends in between, I only have time to take pictures no weekends, so I'm planning to publish every two weeks instead on a weekly basis, this is still a decision I need to think about I will keep you informed :)
So the recipe today is one of those I specially like, a savory tart. You know already how tasty is the caramelized onion with the goat cheese and I totally recommend you to try this quiche version. Last wekend I saw on a cooking show this version and I did not doubt to try and add the cumin taste.
