Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a deep 23cm fluted flan tin. Line with baking paper and fill with baking beans. Bake blind for 15 mins.

  • step 2

    Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan, then gently fry the onions, covered, for about 30 mins until completely softened, but still pale in colour.

  • step 3

    Beat the eggs and cream together in a bowl, then add the cheese and some seasoning. Stir in the onions, then spoon the mixture into the flan case. Bake for 25-30 mins until lightly set and browned.

It’s lovely but definitely ad nutmeg and a bit more cheese

I took all the comments into account - except whinging about how many onions you need to cut up. It’s an onion tart. I used less cream and actually substituted it with sour cream, added an egg and added sage and tarragon as the herbs. It was sensational. Thank you

This does not need the addition of cheese at all, but definitely a lot of seasoning and a scrap of nutmeg.

I felt this recipe was rather bland and far too creamy. If I made it again I would decrease the amount of cream and probably add another egg - it was more like a creamy onion sauce in a flan case.

We loved this but it didn’t get the golden look of the one in the picture, perhaps because I used plant cream?? Don’t underestimate the time it takes to slice all those onions! Added nutmeg but perhaps some chopped herbs would enhance the flavour.

I had the same issue, so I popped it under the grill for about 5 minutes, rotating and checking it frequently, and it worked out very well! I definitely should have added some nutmeg too, I found this recipe to be a bit plain, could have used some herbs and spices
