Salty, savory, rich, and flaky all at once. The pastry was particularly easy to put together and it handled beautifully. It was a great brunch dish, with a little salad on the side. I may fiddle with the proportions a bit next time— more cheese, less bacon—but this will definitely be on the menu again soon. [Cindi Kruth] Just what I expected.

Put these together and you've got a party in your mouth. This was even more amazing than I imagined. The crust had a nice crunch from the cornmeal, the bacon added the salt, the caramelized onions the sweet, and the goat cheese the tart. I sprinkled some fleur de sel over my slice after taking a bite and feeling like it needed a little more seasoning. That's the way to go, rather than adding more salt in the cooking process. It was truly delicious. I could have eaten the whole thing in one sitting. And for once, it looked exactly like the picture! This is one recipe I will <em>definitely</em> make for guests.

It came together beautifully and, overall, the tart was well received, but I'm not sure how much the cornmeal actually added. I think, in the future, I would try increasing the cornmeal amount. The flavor combination was spot on—I've not added thyme to my onion tarts before, and I intend to use it consistently in the future. This isn't the most original recipe, for sure, but for a fun, simple lunch (with a green salad), this tart is hard to beat.

Bright, rich flavors that complemented each other nicely. I felt like I should be sitting in a pub somewhere in the UK. This, with the recommended salad, makes a wonderful lunchtime meal. I was even able to lightly warm it up the following day with out ill effects. [TeAntae Turner] For something so simple, this dish is a true pleaser.

It may be the cream cheese, but this was one of the nicest tart doughs to work with; and I appreciate the tip to roll it out onto the baking mat and just place the whole thing onto the baking sheet (way easier than transferring dough from the counter to the baking sheet). Bacon, of course, makes everything better and it just rounded out the onions and goat cheese. The crust became flaky but also smooth, with that occasional cornmeal crunch. It's such a simple idea, but it looks great coming out of the oven, tastes wonderful and is so versatile. We ate it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it never seemed out of place.
