Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 3 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups Gruyère cheese
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9-inch tart pan by lightly greasing it.
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into the tart pan, trimming any excess dough. Use a fork to gently prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.
Place the crust in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
Slice the onions thinly into even rings.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and caramelized. Add the thyme, salt, and pepper in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove from heat and let the onions cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, and flour until smooth. Stir in the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses.
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the prepared crust.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the onions, making sure it spreads evenly.
Place the tart on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
