DIRECTIONS
- Leaving the root end attached, peel the onions and slice each one into eight wedges. Set aside.
- Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Place an 8- or 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium high and melt the butter in the olive oil. Place the onion wedges in the skillet (they should fit together very snuggly at this point), arranging them in a pinwheel-like pattern, and sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Cook the onion wedges for 8-10 minutes. Then using a pair of tongs, carefully flip them over and cook them for an additional 8-10 minutes on the second side. The onion wedges should be tender and caramelized in some spots.
- Sprinkle the balsamic vinegar over the onion wedges and cook for 1 minute more. Then remove the skillet from the heat.
- Using a pair of tongs, re-arrange the onion wedges so they are evenly spread around the skillet. Then add the chestnuts and cranberries, tucking them into the spaces between the onion wedges. Sprinkle with the thyme leaves.
- Roll/stretch the puff pastry dough so it’s slightly larger than the surface of the skillet. Then lay the dough over the cooked onion wedges, tucking the excess in around the sides. Pierce the puff pastry a couple times with a small paring knife to allow steam to escape during baking. Then transfer the skillet to your pre-heated oven and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the pastry is risen and golden. Remove the skillet from the oven and set it aside for 5-8 minutes to cool slightly.
- Place a large serving plate or baking sheet over the skillet and carefully flip it over. The tarte tatin should easily come out onto the serving plate/baking sheet. If a few onion wedges are left behind in your skillet, simply use your tongs to remove them and place them back on the puff pastry.
- Slice the tarte tatin into wedges and top with extra Reese Maraschino Cherries.
- Serve while still warm.
