Quiche à l’oignon
קיש בצל

A regional kosher delicacy from Jewish Alsace-Lorraine, adapted from Quiche Lorraine by omitting pork. Sweet onions are cooked down and bound with eggs in a savory pastry crust for a rich but kashrut-compliant tart.
Ingredients
- •1 9-inch savory pastry crust
- •4 large onions, thinly sliced
- •2 tbsp butter or schmaltz
- •4 large eggs
- •1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
- •1 tsp kosher salt
- •1/2 tsp black pepper
- •Pinch grated nutmeg
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and fit the pastry crust into a 9-inch tart pan.
- 2
Heat the butter in a wide skillet and cook the sliced onions over medium-low heat for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often, until soft and translucent but not deeply browned.
- 3
Whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a bowl.
- 4
Spread the cooked onions evenly in the prepared crust.
- 5
Pour the egg mixture over the onions and gently shake the pan so the custard settles evenly.
- 6
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
- 7
Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
Kosher notes
Traditionally made without pork to distinguish it from Quiche Lorraine. For a meat meal, use a pareve crust and plant-based cream instead of dairy.
