Swiss Onion Tart

This was REALLY good! The onions are caramelized before baking so they are sweet! Even the kids liked it!

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 55 minutes

Ingredients:

2 sheets frozen pastry (I used a regular pie tin and only 1 sheet of pastry)
2 TBSP oil
3 medium onions, sliced
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1/2 cup finely grated Gruyre cheese
cayenne pepper

Preparations:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Thaw pastry and fit into a fluted flan tin; trim edges.  Cut a sheet of greaseproof paper large enough to cover pastry-lined tin. Spread a layer of dried beans or rice evenly over paper.  Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven. Discard paper and beans or rice.  Return tin with pastry to oven for another 5 minutes or until pastry is lightly golden.  Reduce oven to 350 degrees.

Heat oil in pan and add onion. Cook over low heat, stirring often, for 15 minutes or until lightly browned and very tender. Spread over pastry base.

Whisk sour cream and eggs in medium bowl until smooth; add cheese; stir until combined. Place tin on baking tray.Pour egg mixture over onion and sprinkle lightly with cayenne.

Bake 40 minutes or until filling is set.  May be garnished with fresh herbs.
