Ready in: 60 mins +
The combination of sweet caramelised red onions with aromatic thyme and nutty Edam makes this a seriously tasty festive tart.
Ingredients:
25g butter3 large red onions, thinly sliced
30ml freshly chopped thyme
350g ready made shortcrust pastry
330ml reduced fat crème fraîche
3 medium free-range eggs
pinch nutmeg
150g vegetarian Edam cheese, grated
method:
- Melt the butter in a large pan, add the onions and thyme and cover and cook for 30-35 minutes. Stir occasionally, until the onions start to caramelise, and then allow to cool.
- Preheat oven to 190C/375F/Gas 6. Roll out the pastry and use to line a 23cm loose-bottomed quiche tin. Cover the base with baking paper and fill with ceramic baking beans. Bake for 15 minutes then remove the paper and beans and return to the oven for a further five minutes until golden.
- Beat the crème fraîche, eggs and nutmeg in a bowl. Stir in the onions and half the cheese and pour into the bottom of the pastry base. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and you could also garnish with some small thyme sprigs.
- Bake for 30 minutes until the top is golden and the filling set. Cool for five minutes, then cut into slices and enjoy!
