  Excellent tart, brought great compliments! Pay attention to seasoning - mine needed a lot more.

  This was absolutely delicious, I agree with the comment on seasoning made by marydrum. I also used longlife whipping cream as that is all we can get in Yemen and it was absolutely fine. Might appeal to all those watching their fat content.. ( I believe whipping is lower in fat than double??) Will be making this again.

  Nice but mine came out far too creamy. Next time I'll just use a little less

  I also made my own pastry but didnt fill it with all the cream etc as it would never have set.

  Made this (using bought pastry) and took it to a pot luck supper last night. It was delicious and got lots of compliments. Increased the amount of cheese by half again.

  Lovely and creamy with a sweet onion flavour. Only used half the cream and the mixture fitted my flan case perfectly and set beautifully. Ate with a salad warm, but also nice cold the next day on a picnic.

  I made this for my son's second birthday party and it disappeared in seconds. I made the case from the cheesy pastry from the slow roasted pesto tart and after reading reviews made sure that I seasoned everything well. Fantastic

  Was very surprised at how delicious this was; better than a supermarket one I'd recently bought, about twice the size and half the cost to make. Definitely recommended.

  As many comments suggest a delicious creamy quiche. Super with a tossed green salad for a lunch with friends. Used all the cream recommended and a deep tin. No problems setting. I keep a few chickens and they lay large to extra large eggs. Also found it easy and quick to do. Next time and I'm sure there will be one, think I will add some fresh thyme to balance the sweetness of the onions.

  Made this the other day and it turned out really good. Sadly we ended up eating it almost all between the two of us with barely a slice left for the next day, so feel fat a guilty! lol Only added half the cream and checked the seasoning before cooking and for me the balance of the sweet onions and the salty cheese was fine. Used my own pastry and all was good, enough left for another. Now in the process of making a purple asparagus and stilton tart, but think I should have used another egg as there is not as much volume as with the onions. Oh well.

  Absolutely adorable!!! It was devoured in a few minutes at a party.... I did add more salt and decided to put some nutmeg in it, which I think it always compliments white creamy sauces and dishes...
