Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin and use it to line a rectangular tart tin (approx 34cm x 12cm). Line the pastry with baking paper and fill with blind-baking beans. Bake for 15 minutes, remove the beans and paper and cook for 10 minutes. Cool.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pan. Add the onions and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally until they are golden and meltingly soft (this will take about 20 minutes so be patient). Whisk together the cream, eggs and cheese and season well. Stir in the onions then pour into the pastry case. Slide back in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the filling is just set. Serve warm.

Making it look good

Bake the tart in a long rectangular tin so you can serve perfectly neat uniform slices that make a change from wedges.

    Really easy to make, everone in my family loved this recipe, made the pastry myself though because you can't beat homemade pastry! Freezes well too.

    Really easy to make. I also made my own pastry and cooked it in a normal round quiche tin which worked just as well. A really lovely taste with minimal ingredients and effort!

    I used goats cheese and top milk and lowered the calorific content this time (I'd previously made it as per the recipe and we had all enjoyed it) due to a visitor who is slimming. Just as delicious.

    Easy and delicious. Although I threw in some mushrooms and left out the cream, adding an extra egg and a dash of milk. Made a nice midweek meal. Can't be eating cream on a daily basis! :)

    Easy to make and absolutely gorgeous! Have now converted my husband as he always said he hated quiche like things! Used mature chedder as had no gruyere but don't think it took away from the taste.
