Time 2h45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1/4 cup ice-cold water
3 ounces bacon, finely chopped (known as Speck in Switzerland)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 lbs white onions, finely chopped (about 3)
kosher salt, to taste
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 eggs
3 ounces grated gruyere cheese or 3 ounces good quality swiss cheese
fresh ground black pepper
freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Crust:.
  • Pulse flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse until pea-sized pieces form. Add water; pulse briefly. Transfer dough to a floured work surface; form into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill for 1 hour.
  • Heat oven to 425°F Transfer dough to a floured work surface. Roll dough into a 13-inch circle; transfer to an 11-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing into bottom and sides. Trim excess dough; chill for 30 minutes. Prick bottom of dough with a fork; cover bottom with a sheet of parchment paper; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until crust is set, about 20 minutes. Remove paper and b eans; bake until crust is light brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
  • Filling:.
  • Cook bacon in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat until crisp, 7-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a plate. Discard bacon fat; add butter. Add onions and season with salt; reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Uncover; cook until lightly browned, 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Whisk milk, cream, and eggs in a bowl; add reserved bacon and onions along with cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour filling into tart; place on baking sheet.
  • Place tart in oven and reduce heat to 400°F Bake until filling is golden brown and set, 45-50 minutes. Transfer tart to a wire rack to let cool completely before slicing and serving.

This Zwiebelwhe was a disaster. The onions didn't caramelize properly and the cheese was rubbery. I won't be making this again.

The Zwiebelwhe was good, but it wasn't anything special. I don't think I'll be making it again.

The Zwiebelwhe was a bit dry. I think I would add more butter or oil to the dough next time.

This Zwiebelwhe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would use less sugar next time.

This tart was delicious! The caramelized onions were so flavorful and the cheese was perfectly melted. I will definitely be making this again.

This Zwiebelwhe was easy to make and turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of cheese. I used Gruyère, but I think a sharper cheese like cheddar or Parmesan would be better.

I'm not usually a fan of onion tarts, but this one was surprisingly delicious. The combination of caramelized onions and cheese was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.
