French Onion Tart

From Smitten Kitchen

Ingredients

1 pie crust, homemade or store bought, you decide (you know I sure as heck didn't make my own!)

1 1/2 lb yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp oil

1/2 tsp salt

pinch of sugar

1 cup beef stock

black pepper

1/2 cup Swiss cheese

1 egg

1/2 cup heavy cream

1. Melt butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add onions, toss with butter/oil mixture.  Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the skillet.  Cook for 15 minutes.

2. Remove lid and add salt, pepper, and sugar, saute 10-15 minutes longer.

3. Add stock, raise heat, simmer until broth nearly disappears. Let cool until warm.

4. In a medium bowl beat the eggs and cream together. Stir in onions.

5. Heat oven to 400.  Place pie crust in a 9 inch tart pan. Fill with egg mixture.  Top with cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes until filling is set. Serve hot or warm with a nice big salad.

This tart will warm you right up this fall.

Remember when it was a frightening thought to put that oven on just a few weeks ago? Not any more!

Yum! Tastes great leftover too!
