I haven’t been trying any Lydie recipes lately. First of all, we were away celebrating my daughter’s graduation. Then, it’s holiday time and there are many traditional recipes that have to be made. No time for experimentation. I’ve been making a bunch of quiches for our annual holiday brunch. I am adding to my repertoire by including this onion tart. Quiches are delicious but they do contain lots of butter, cheese and cream. No wonder we put on weight during the holidays. (I won’t even mention the cookies!) Lydie’s tart does use the all-purpose butter crust but the filling is simply onions and a couple of eggs. You’ll note that I’ve added the lattice work of anchovies and nicoise olives to only half the tart – in deference to the revelers who aren’t as fond as I am of those ingredients. I plan to freeze this and bring it out next Sunday.
Ene, I know you were thinking of me when you designed the beautiful art work to top off this yummy onion tart. Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteAs a recipient of this blogger's Country Onion Tart at her always fabulous extended family gathering, I have to say how scrumptious it was. But somehow I got to it too late and missed the olive and anchovy half. Tant pis!! I'll just need to get the recipe to try it myself. Yum!
