HHDD #5: Alsation Onion Tart
Our friends, P & S, who moved to Australia from Strasbourg about 2 years ago recently returned home. But before they left, S gave me her mother-in-law's recipe for making tarts. The recipe for the pastry listed 250g flour, 125g margarine, 1 egg and in a post script, S instructed me to add some sugar if I wanted a 'sweety pie' instead!When Tami announced that this 'Hey Hey It's Donna Day' theme as savoury tarts, I rummaged through my folders to pull out the handwritten sheets. I also remembered the Alsatian onion tarts that we enjoyed on our trip to Strasbourg, so it didn't take long to decide what filling to make. Caramelised onions, bacon, creme fraiche with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
We brought this along yesterday when we went for a drive through the Pyrenees region - mmmm, perfect picnic food!

Just the list of ingredients makes me hungry! Carmelized onions are amazingly delicious, but with bacon and creme fraiche that tart sounds beyond wonderful.

I love how the onions become sweet when you caramelize them.

You really got me with this tart idea. This kind of food goes down very well in our household. Yum. Looks scrumptious.

Thanks for entering Cin. I love your tart. I'd like a piece right now, but no, I've just weighed myself and I need to go on a diet!

Hi cin,
This looks deliciously simple. Perfect for a quick dinner. If you don't mind me asking..how long did you bake it for?
