My family coworkers and friends ask for this dish at almost every potluck or holiday event. PS: I always use yellow(brown) onions as they are sweeter never white or red. ---- Update I love seeing how everyone is finding ways to make it that suits their families and pantry how creative. Bon appétit!
This is amazing. It's a little much for a weekday dinner but I can't wait to make it for friends! I used a HUGE Vidalia onion and 3 little yellow onions and next time it will be all Vidalias; they add the best flavor. I loved the addition of the nutmeg it really gives it a special something. Thanks for a super recipe!
This Onion Tart turned out great! It was very smooth and contrary to some other reviewers was not too oniony. I only used 4 white onions used regular pie crusts (not deep dish) and had enough batter for almost 2 tarts. I would suggest trying 1 deep dish pie crust and hopefully everything will fit in it. Also I made one batch with the bacon one without. It turned out much better without the bacon. Based on my research bacon is not used in many other traditional onion tart recipes. Lastly I did not have nutmeg so I used McCormick's Allspice. This addition really made the difference and would suggest using it.
Great guideline recipe... I used 4 medium vidalias 1 cup of half & half generous amounts of salt pepper a splash of aged balsamic and a bit (like 2 teaspoons) of brown sugar nutmeg as recommended and thinly sliced bits of 1 precooked sausage. It generously filled 1 deep dish crust. This dish was delicious-- savory and sweet at the same time and very moist and filling. Thank you Nadine
We just finished eating this for supper with corn on the cob it was super good! I didn't use bacon because we didn't have any. Funny thing is that without even saying anything my husband said it would have been even better if I put some bacon in... So note to self: make sure to add the bacon:)
Had this in France 16 years ago. I didn't like onions then... I had a second helping. I wanted to introduce my wife to it (now that I've come to my senses on onions). This seems to be the closest recipe to what I recall. Was easy to cook and quite tasty.
We liked this but each one of us thought something about it could be improved! One didn't care for the bacon with the onions one thought it needed more herbs to flavor it one thought we should use fewer onions etc! I put this into a whole wheat pie crust and I used soy milk instead of milk and cream. This might be great for a brunch!
This was amazing. My super picky 12 year old daughter loved it and even my 2 year old ate a piece. I don't think I could fit 5 onions in one pie shell though since Idaho has some really big onions so I made 2 pies instead. It keeps really well in the fridge for about a week if you have any left overs. Overall this is just an amazing recipe and I can't wait to make it for company.
I see I'm the only one whose tart came out a bit too watery. I think I used onions that were too large and next time I would saute them longer - perhaps caramelize them. It did taste great though! Good with steaks!
