Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In large nonstick frying pan, heat oil over medium heat; cook onions for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until soft and golden. Stir in half of salt. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

Fold edges over onion mixture to form a smaller square. Top onion mixture with tomatoes. Sprinkle with pepper, remaining and thyme. Brush exposed pastry with some beaten egg. Discard remaining egg.
