This has some of the ingredients of a traditional quiche but it's really a tart. Enjoy the sweet flavor of caramelized onions (main ingredient).
Ingredients
- 1 pie dough shopping list
- 2 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- 2-3 large red onions cut into long pieces shopping list
- salt and freshly ground pepper shopping list
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (crucial ingredient!) shopping list
- 1/2 cup milk shopping list
- 1/2 cup heavy cream shopping list
- 3 large eggs shopping list
- Pinch nutmeg shopping list
- 6 ounces Gruyère or swiss cheese, grated (1 1/2 cups) shopping list
How to make it
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit into a 9-by-1 1/2-inch round tart pan, pressing dough into corners. Transfer to freezer to chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line pastry with parchment paper, wax paper, or aluminum foil, pressing into the corners and edges. Fill at least two-thirds with baking weights - dried beans, rice, or aluminum pie weights. Bake first for 15 minutes, remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. Carefully remove parchment paper and weights. Poke the bottom of the pie pan with the tongs of a fork and return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until lightly golden. (Fork holes are for any air to escape.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool while making filling.
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan on medium heat. Add the onions and sprinkle a little salt over them. Cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes, until the onions have softened and are translucent. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for an additional 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are well browned. Add balsamic vinegar and cook for 10 minutes more, until onions are completely caramelized. Remove from heat.
- Place tart pan on a baking sheet to catch any run-off there might be. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust. Spread onions over the cheese and then top with remaining cheese. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, and eggs. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Pour over cheese. Transfer to oven, and bake until just set in the center, 30 to 35 minutes.
