Ingredients

  • 4 pieces of bacon cut in half
  • 1 large Vidalia onion thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 pie crust dough
  • ¾ c. Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 4 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/3 c. milk
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain. Crumble when cooled.
  • Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the pan. Add the onions and sugar to the pan and cook over medium low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until onions have caramelized.
  • Remove the onions from the pan and refrigerate for 10 minutes to cool.
  • Meanwhile, place the pie crust in the tart pan. Gently press it into the pan and remove any excess dough.
  • In a large bowl combine 2/3 cup of cheese, eggs, and milk. Mix well. Add in the rosemary, marjoram, and pepper and stir until combined.
  • Sprinkle almost all of the bacon in the bottom of the tart pan. Spread the caramelized onions on top.
  • Pour the egg mixture on top of the bacon and onions. Sprinkle remaining cheese and bacon on top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top has browned and the egg is cooked through. Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes.
  • Carefully lift the bottom out of the tart and away from the sides. Cut the tart and serve warm.
