Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 10 oz Bacon cut into small pieces or pancetta
- 1 large onion sliced, or 5 shallots
- 8 oz feta cheese crumbled
- 1 cup ricotta or cottage cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 3 eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper to taste
- 1 savory tart shell slightly baked for about 8 to 10 minutes (don't use a sweet pastry,)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a sauté pan and add the pancetta pieces. Cook until it starts to brown, then remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauteé the shallots or onion until caramelized (this should take about ½ hour or so).
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Beat the eggs with the salt in a bowl and set aside.
- While the onions are cooking, place the three cheeses in a bowl and mix in the beaten eggs. Add the pancetta and caramelized shallots/onion and some freshly ground black pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Put the mixture into the partially baked tart crust then put into the oven.
- Bake the caramelized onion, pancetta and feta cheese tart for about 40 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Allow to cool slightly and serve warm, or even at room temperature, with a green salad.
