Caramelised Onion, Feta & Roast Pumpkin Tart (2024)

This Caramelised Onion, Feta & Roast Pumpkin Tart with puff pastry and rosemary is the perfect weekend lunch... or lazy mid-week dinner.

This is by far one of my most popular recipes!

This savoury and lightly sweet roast pumpkin tart is a favourite in our house. It's so simple, but packed full of flavour.

Just like my popular 30 minute egg and bacon pie, this recipe is is quick, easy and perfect for a fast midweek meal.

I absolutely love using pumpkin in recipes that are more savoury than sweet, like this one, along with or roast pumpkin soup.

This tart is elegant enough for company, but easy enough to whip up for a weeknight dinner with the family.

Made with puff pastry, roasted pumpkin (perfect for leftovers), chunks of feta (we like a lot), and caramelized onion, it's simple but absolutely delicious.

What You Need

• puff pastry– making your own puff pastry is not an easy task! Luckily for us, prepackaged frozen puff pastry is absolutely delicious and perfect for this recipe. Save yourself the time and stress and simply buy some frozen puff pastry sheets next time you're at the supermarket.
• roasted pumpkin – cut into chunks. If you've never roasted pumpkin before, here's how.
• feta cheese – use either a chunk that you've crumbled yourself or store-bought feta crumbles
• eggs - use large eggs (approximately 55g)
• milkor cream - use full cream milk or thickened pouring cream for this recipe. Cream will give the tart the ultimate creamy texture (and it's my personal favourite!)
• sea salt and pepper
• caramelised onion - you can either caramelise your own onions or use a jar of store-bought caramelised onions. There are such good quality brands of caramelised onion available, so you certainly won't be skimping on flavour if that's the option you choose. My personal favourite is Berenberg brand but you can absolutely use any brand you like.
• rosemary sprigs – optional, but adds an extra burst of flavour. Just make sure you remove the woody stems before using!

Sprinkle in the caramelised onion and fresh rosemary (optional). Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or the tart until golden and cooked through.

Recipe Tips & FAQ

Can I freeze my roast pumpkin tart?

Yes! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the freezer up to 1 month. Be aware that it may lose a bit of its texture when reheated, but it will still be tasty!

How long can you store this tart?

Keep this pumpkin tart stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven on a low temperature until heated through.

Can I use other ingredients?

Absolutely! This recipe is great with any leftover vegetables you might have. You can even leave out the pumpkin and just have an onion and feta tart. This is also delicious with bacon, pancetta or prosciutto.

Can I use a pie pan instead of a tart tin?

Yes, but since it's round instead of square, check on the tart several times while in the oven to make sure it's cooking thoroughly. You may need to add an extra minute or so to your cook time for a larger pie pan.

Can I use a premade pie crust?

You can, but keep in mind that a pie crust and a puff pastry have different textures. A puff pastry "puffs" up when cooking, making it more flaky, while a pie crust is more solid.

What kind of caramelized onions should I use?

You can either use a jar or make your own, whichever is easiest for you!
