Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 large Vidalia onion
- 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
- 1 cups (237 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 single crust pie shell (pastry)
Instructions
- Line a 9-inch tart pan or pie pan with the pie dough.
- Pierce with a fork and bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, arrange the sliced onions in a single layer with 1 tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of Kosher salt over the onions, and cook until soft and golden.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the eggs, bacon, cheeses, and milk.
- Add the onions and mix well.
- Pour filling into a prebaked pie shell.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until set.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use Gruyère or a similar strong cheese in place of some of the cheddar.
- To prevent a soggy bottom, pre-bake the pie crust for the recommended time. Don’t skip this step!
- Leftover tart can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
