It has been a while since I last posted a recipe. So here we go again. Today, I spontaneously wanted to bake something and I was lucky to find an easy recipe for a tasty onion and cheese tart (diameter ca. 28cm). It is a great tart to bake during those dim and grey autumn days.
As always, taking the picture was the hardest part of the task.
What you’ll need:
- 30g butter
- 300g onions
- 200g grated cheese (I used Swiss Emmentaler)
- 30g flour
- 200ml milk
- 100ml cream
- 2 eggs
- a pinch of salt
What you’ll need for the dough:
- 250g flour
- 100g butter
- 100ml water
- a pinch of salt
What you need to do:
For the dough, just mix the flour with the butter until you get a crumbly mass. Add the water and salt and start kneading until you get a nice and smooth dough. Line a baking tray (diameter ca. 28cm) with baking paper and put the rolled out dough onto the tray. Put it in the fridge for a while.
- Heat up the butter in a frying pan and carefully fry the sliced onions in it until they are soft but still pale in colour. Let them cool down a bit
- Mix cream, milk, flour and the eggs in a bowl and add a bit of salt and pepper (as much as you like)
- Spread the cooled down onions onto the dough
- Spread the grated cheese over it
- Cover everything with the cream-milk-flour-egg mix and put it in a preheated oven (200°C)
- Bake at 200°C for about 25-30 minutes
The best thing about this recipe is that you can vary it to get other delicious tarts. Why not add some bacon for example?
I hope you enjoyed this recipe and wish you bon apétit!
