This savory tart combines the creamy texture of ricotta with the sweetness of caramelized onions, all encased in a buttery crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In a sauté pan, cook the onions over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized.
Stir the onions frequently to prevent burning and achieve a golden color.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, onion powder, and salt until smooth.
Use a whisk to ensure the mixture is well combined and airy.
Roll out the crust dough and fit it into a pie dish.
Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before adding the filling to prevent shrinking.
Spread the caramelized onions over the crust, then pour the ricotta mixture on top.
Spread the onions evenly to ensure every slice has a balanced flavor.
Combine the breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the tart.
For a crunchier topping, use panko breadcrumbs.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden.
Check the tart halfway through baking and rotate it for even cooking.
Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
