Swiss Onion and Cream Pie

A butter pastry shell filled with softened onions and cream, baked to a lightly browned finish.

Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    For the proposed savoury crust, rub cold butter into flour and salt, add only enough cold water to bind, flatten and chill 30 minutes. Roll to 3 mm and line the dish; chill until filled or blind-baked as directed below.

  2. Step 2

    Cook onion slices slowly in 30 g butter until soft and most moisture evaporates, about 20 minutes; season with salt.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oven to 180 °C and butter a shallow 23 cm dish. Line with pastry, spread onions evenly and pour cream over them without flooding.

  4. Step 4

    Bake about 35–40 minutes until crust is golden and cream reduced and bubbling. Rest at least 15 minutes before slicing; serve warm or cold.
