Ingredients for each tart:

Puff pastry, cut to a 3" disc approx. 1/2" thick
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup (approx.) caramelized onions, see recipe following
1 strip of bacon, cut diagonally into 8 pieces
1 inch cube of Swiss Raclette or Oka cheese
Sprig of fresh thyme, fresh cracked pepper
Spring greens

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F or 400°F in a convection oven.
On a non-stick sheet pan, place the disc of puff pastry. Brush surface of pastry with beaten egg.
Spread the caramelized onions over the entire surface of the pastry.
Sprinkle with the chopped bacon then place cheese cube on top in the centre of the disc.

Bake on lowest rack in oven for about 14 - 18 minutes or until the bottom of the tart is golden brown.
Serve on a bed of fresh Spring greens. Top with fresh thyme and fresh cracked black pepper.

Caramelized Onions
4 medium white onions, peeled and thinly sliced
4 tbs. butter
4 tbs. honey
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large frying pan, melt butter. Add onions and cook at high heat until golden brown. (If the onions release a large amount of water during cooking, you may want to drain the excess water to allow a nice result.)
Stir in honey and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool.

(You will not use the full recipe of caramelized onions to make the Onion Tart.)
