Ingredients (serves 6-8):
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Cooking Tips:
- Be sure to thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions before using it.
- When caramelizing the onions, be patient and cook them slowly over low heat to bring out their natural sweetness.
- To prevent the quiche from becoming too brown on top, cover it with foil halfway through the baking time.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Stir in the goat cheese and thyme.
4. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the bottom of the puff pastry. Pour the egg mixture over the onions.
5. Bake the quiche for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. If the top is browning too quickly, cover the quiche with foil.
6. Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
