By ezunich

Ingredients

• single crust pie shell
• 1 1/2 lbs large onions, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 2 tbs olive oli
• salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Preparation

Step 1

Roll out the pastry dough and line a 9 inch pie pan. Flute the edges. Freeze the shell for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°.

Heat the butter in a skillet and saute the onions over moderate heat. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and starting to caramelize - about 30 minutes. Season the onions with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove from heat and cool the mixture slightly.
Place the onions in the bottom of the pie shell. In a bowl, beat together the eggs and cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the mixture over the onions and bake the tart for 30-40 minutes. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
