1. To make onion marmalade, heat olive oil and butter in pan, add onions, garlic and thyme, cook on a medium heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are golden and caramelised. (Should be a thick jam-like consistency). Allow to cool
2. Preheat oven to 190 degrees C.
3. Unroll pastry and lay onto a large non-stick baking sheet. Mark out a border about half an inch wide, taking care not to cut right through. Brush beaten egg around the border and prick the inside all over.
4. Spread onion marmalade evenly up to the border.
5. Dot anchovies and olives over the marmalade, arrange tomatoes cut side up. Sprinkle over chopped thyme, season with salt and pepper and drizzle over a little olive oil.
6. Bake for 35 minutes until cooked and risen.
7. Sprinkle the shredded basil leaves over, serve hot or cold.
