🧂 Ingrediente
- 1 roll Shortcrust pastry(ready-made or homemade)
- 4 large Yellow onions(thinly sliced)
- 50 g Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 150 ml Heavy cream
- 100 ml Milk
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- 1 pinch Nutmeg(freshly grated)
- 100 g Lardons(optional, cooked until crisp)
👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a 23-25 cm (9-10 inch) tart pan with the shortcrust pastry. Prick the base with a fork.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Blind baking the crust for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden can prevent a soggy bottom. - 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are very soft, translucent, and lightly caramelized. This can take 20-30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Cooking the onions slowly is key to developing their sweetness and preventing bitterness. - 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure the nutmeg is freshly grated for the best aroma and flavor. - 4
Spread the softened, caramelized onions evenly over the pastry base. If using, scatter the cooked lardons over the onions.

Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the onions and lardons, ensuring it fills the tart evenly.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Pour slowly to avoid disturbing the onion layer too much. - 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The center should be just set, not liquid.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: A slight wobble in the center is okay, as it will continue to set as it cools. - 7
Let the tart cool slightly in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste
- ✓For an authentic Alsatian flavor, consider adding a pinch of caraway seeds to the onions while they cook.
- ✓If you don't have shortcrust pastry, a puff pastry can also be used, though it will result in a lighter, flakier tart.
- ✓This tart is excellent served with a simple green salad.
