Ingredients

  • 250 g spelt flour
  • 180 g butter

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 large onions
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 100 g whipping cream
  • 150 g crème fraîche
  • 3 eggs
  • Pepper
  • nutmeg
  • 150 g grated Gouda
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Combine all dough ingredients in a bowl, cut through with a knife, then knead quickly into a smooth dough. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Peel and dice the onions. Sauté in a pan over medium heat with oil until translucent.

  3. 3.

    Whisk cream, crème fraîche, and eggs together; season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Fold in onions and cheese.

  4. 4.

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a size slightly larger than the tart pan, then line the pan. Spread the egg‑cream mixture over the dough. Bake in a preheated oven at 225 °C (200 °C fan) for about 30 minutes; cover with foil if needed. Let cool briefly before slicing.
