This savory tart combines crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and creamy cheese in a flaky crust for a delightful meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Using a fork, prick the bottom of the frozen pie crust to prevent bubbling.
Pricking the crust ensures even baking and prevents air pockets.
Bake the pie crust for about 8 minutes, then remove it from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
Pre-baking the crust helps it stay firm when the filling is added.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Cooking the bacon until crispy adds a delightful crunch to the tart.
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion with a pinch of salt and pepper until golden and caramelized.
Caramelizing the onions enhances their natural sweetness and flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheese and cooked bacon.
Whisking the eggs thoroughly ensures a smooth and creamy filling.
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pre-baked crust, then pour the egg mixture over the top.
Layering the onions first prevents them from floating to the top during baking.
Bake the tart in the oven at 325°F until the filling is set and slightly golden, about 40 minutes.
Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the tart cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Allowing the tart to cool slightly makes it easier to slice and enhances the flavors.
