A classic onion tart is something everyone loves. And this slow-cooked caramelised onion tart made with four different types of onions is no exception. It is fantastically delicious. It\u2019s also what I would all comfort food pure. It\u2019s easy to make, inexpensive to prepare, filling and always better the next day. And best thing is everyone loves it.<\/p>\n

Yellow onions, green onions, shallots and leeks are slow-cooked to bring out all their sweet amazing flavor. Cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, eggs, a pinch of nutmeg and fresh summer thyme are added to the mix and then baked in shortcrust pastry until golden brown, like a quiche but better. Life just got a little sweeter.

An onion tart is an absolute classic recipe<\/h2>\n

Depending on the region or country, onion tart is made with a yeast or shortcrust pastry and it\u2019s prepared on a baking tray or in a round springform pan. It typically consists of onions, eggs, sour cream and smoked bacon, just like the the traditional German “Schw\u00e4bischer Zwiebelkuchen” which also has caraway seeds. Other regions use Schmand<\/a>. And if you head over to France you find the “Franz\u00f6sischer Zwiebelkuchen” which is made with fresh thyme, sardines and black olives. This version, after many variations, is my favourite by far. It may not be considered traditional in Germany, but this vegetarian version is definitely delicious.

Slow cooking the onions is key to this savory tart<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll note that the onions take what you might consider to be a long, long time to cook. Sweet, slow-cooked onions are exactly what make this vegetarian onion tart recipe a real treat. The process is easy and doesn\u2019t take a ton of supervision. But the slow caramelisation process is exactly what makes this recipe so delicious. And to pass the time, how about listening to my personal playlist on Spotify: Chilled Out Kitchen Tunes<\/a>.

How long does this vegetarian onion tart keep?<\/h2>\n

Covered in the fridge the onion tart can be enjoyed for 2-3 days. It is easily reheated and tastes just as good as leftovers. Which also means you can make this a day ahead if serving it for brunch.<\/p>\n
