Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add in the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. Add the egg and continue to pulse until the dough comes together. Shape it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

  5. In the same skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from the heat and let it cool.

  6. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan, letting the excess hang over the sides. Fold the overhang in, creating a rustic edge.

  7. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and blind bake for 10 minutes.

  8. In a bowl, whisk together sour cream, eggs, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  9. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the partially baked crust. Add the cooked bacon on top, followed by the grated Emmental cheese.

  10. Pour the custard mixture over the onions, bacon, and cheese, ensuring it spreads evenly.

  11. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and the tart is golden brown.

  12. Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
