    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 pumpkin & spinach vegetarian lasagne 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.

    Why You're Going to Love This Recipe

    Simple ingredients – This tart may sound complex, but you probably already have most of the ingredients at home!

    Perfect for using leftovers – I love making this recipe when I have leftover roast pumpkin.

    Made in under an hour – Ready in about 40 minutes with only 10 minutes of prep time.

    5 Star Recipe Ratings - since I first published this recipe (back in 2017), it's been an absolute reader favourite. Here's just a few of the reader reviews:

    "The creamiest delicious tart I’ve ever made. Made caramelised onions from scratch for the first time ever and it made this dish next level awesome. Even pumpkin hating kids loved it. Go figure."

    "Tastes so good and creamy, perfect balance."

    "This is my absolute favourite recipe, I make a batch of smaller ones at the start of the week and they’re my run out the door brekky every day – highly recommend!"

    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)
    • milk or 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!

    How To Make This Easy Tart

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    Step 1 – Start the Tart

    Place the puff pastry sheets over a loose bottomed tart tin and trim the edges. Add the roasted pumpkin chunks and crumbled feta cheese. (You can use as much cheese as you like.)

    Step 2 – Prep the Eggs and Milk

    Add the eggs, milk or cream, salt and pepper to a bowl and mix until they're well combined. (If you're using a Thermomix, mix on Speed 4 for 20 seconds.)

    Step 4 – Add the Onion and Bake

    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!

        Hi Alison, 100g of milk is the same as 97.76 mls - so you're good using 100mls or 100g 🙂
