Ingredients
– 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

4. 4. Season the onion-mushroom mixture with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
5. 5. Unfold the puff pastry sheet and place it in a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing it into the sides and trimming any excess.
6. 6. Spread the caramelized onion and mushroom mixture evenly over the puff pastry.
7. 7. Sprinkle the shredded gruyere cheese over the top.
8. 8. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. 9. Allow the tart to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can caramelize the onions in a mixture of butter and olive oil. You can also experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster, to add more depth of flavor. This tart can be served warm or at room temperature, making it a versatile and easy-to-prepare dish.
