  • 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Roll crust and fit into a 4x13 inch tart pan with removable bottom, pressing the dough into the fluting. Prick the bottom of the crust every few inches with a fork and place crust in a freezer for 30-45 minutes.

Add onions, sprinkle with about 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, stir and cook until beginning to soften, 5 minutes. Cover and continue to cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until onions start to turn golden, 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 tsp salt, 3/8 tsp black pepper. goat cheese, eggs, thyme, and nutmeg until smooth. Stir in cooled onions.
  • Scoop mixture into tart shell (any extra can be baked in buttered ramekins or custard cups) and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 45 minutes.
  • Cool 5-10 minutes before lifting from pan and placing on a rectangular plate.
