Ingredients:
Pastry shell for tart 1/2 lb. thinly sliced lean bacon, cut into 1/2” pieces 1/2 c. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 1-1/2 lbs. white onions, thinly sliced 3 large eggs 1-1/2 c. créme fraîche 2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Prepare tart shell. Preheat oven to 400°. Place rack in the top third of the oven. In a large skillet, fry bacon over medium heat until crisp. Drain thoroughly on paper towels and reserve. In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and sauté, stirring often, until very soft and slightly golden but not browned, about 20 minutes. Drain onions in a strainer. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs thoroughly, then slowly beat in créme fraîche, nutmeg and salt and white pepper to taste. Scatter bacon and onions evenly over bottom of tart shell. Pour egg mixture over onions. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until quiche is brown and puffed. Cool on rack 5 minutes before serving.
