Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess pastry and prick the base lightly with a fork. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow and red onions. Trim and finely slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the yellow and red onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
Add the white parts of the green onions and thyme leaves to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, Gruyère cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.
Spread the caramelized onion mixture evenly over the chilled pie crust. Pour the cream and egg mixture over the onions, ensuring even coverage. Sprinkle the green parts of the green onions on top.
Place the tart on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
