Home made Onion Tart

I made this onion tart a few weeks ago and it was delicious so I thought I would share the recipe.
You will need:


  • 250g fresh ready-made shortcrust pastry
  • 40g butter
  • 75g bacon, chopped
  • 700g onions, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 50g parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • salt & pepper

1. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface and line a loose-bottomed quiche/flan tin. Prick the base of the pastry with a fork and leave to chill for 30 minutes.


2. Heat the butter in a pan, add the chopped bacon and sliced onions and sweat them over a low heat for about 25 minutes until tender. If the onion slices start to brown, add 1 tbsp water to the pan.


3. Add the beaten eggs to the onion mixture and stir in the cheese, sage and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

4. Spoon the onion mixture into the prepared pastry case(s).


5. Bake in a preheated oven, 180’C/350’F/Gas Mark 4, for about 20-30 minutes or until the tart has just set.

6. Leave to cool slightly in the tin. Serve the tart warm or cold.


This was delicious and I’ll definitely be making it again. It goes nicely with salad now that the weather is getting warmer. I had to make another batch of the mixture to fill one large and 2 small tins, as the recipe above only fills one large tin.

  4. Yum this looks good! I'd leave out the bacon as I'm veggie, but could easily adapt the recipe 😀 x
