This is a very simple recipe, yet it’s designed to show off Roscoff onions, the famous pink onions from Finistère at their best.
Ingredients:
1 batch of shortcrust pastry
8 Roscoff onions, peeled and diced
3 tbsp of crème fraîche
2 tbsp of flour
100 g grated cheese
3 eggs
30g butter
Method:
Place a pan over medium heat, add the butter and when melted and foaming use to brown the onions for about 15 minutes, stirring regularly so that they soften but do not colour too much.
Once the onions are cooked, scatter over and stir in the flour. Take off the heat and set aside to cool.
Pre-heat your oven to 200°C (gas mark 6/7).
Roll out the shortcrust pastry then use to line the base and sides of your pie dish. Trim off any excess.
Tip the cooled fried Roscoff onions into a bowl and mix in the eggs and crème fraîche. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Now scrape the mixture into your pastry shell.
Sprinkle over the grated cheese then transfer to your pre-heated oven. Bake for about 35 minutes, until the cheese has melted and is bubbling and the pastry is starting to turn golden.
Serve hot, sliced into wedges. This can be served as a starter by itself or can be served as an accompaniment.
For even more flavour, add a couple of tablespoons of chopped bacon lardons to the pan when frying the onions.
