Servings: 8
Ingredients
- Shortcrust pastry
- 1 (9-inch) crust
- Gruyere cheese
- 1 cup, grated
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup
- Eggs
- 3, large
- Salt and pepper
- to taste
- Onions
- 3, large, thinly sliced
- Bacon
- 6 slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon, let it cool, then crumble it. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onions. Cook on medium-low heat until they are golden and caramelized, stirring frequently. This process will take about 15 minutes. Season the caramelized onions with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Stir in the grated Gruyere cheese.
- Add the crumbled bacon and caramelized onions to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
- Unroll the shortcrust pastry and place it in a 9-inch tart pan. Gently press the pastry into the edges of the pan and trim any excess.
- Pour the egg mixture into the tart shell. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tart is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the tart to set and make slicing easier.
- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
