Instructions
- 1
To prepare the onion quiche, first peel the onions and slice them into 1 cm thick rings. In a large pan, melt the butter with the oil, then add the onion slices.
- 2
Season with salt, pepper, and add the water, then cover with a lid and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes.
- 3
When the onions have softened, turn off the heat and let cool slightly. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and cream together.
- 4
Add the grated Gruyere cheese, salt, and pepper, then mix well.
- 5
Add the slightly cooled onions and mix with a spoon. Now, unroll the shortcrust pastry and place it in a 22 cm diameter mold lined with baking paper, and prick the pastry with a fork.
- 6
Pour the onion filling into the mold and spread evenly. Fold the edges inward.

Now, whisk together the egg and cream and brush the edges with the mixture. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 180° for about 35 minutes; the edges should be golden brown and the filling set. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for about ten minutes before cutting. Your onion quiche is ready to be served!
