Carmelized Onion & Bacon Tart
- 4 slices bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 4 inches onions small, cut half lengthwise and thickly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves chopped
- kosher salt
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 egg yolk
- freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1 pie shell 8-inch frozen
- tart
- onion
- bacon
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook bacon in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat until fat is mostly rendered and bacon is crisp around the edges. Transfer to paper towels to drain, and set aside, leaving 1 tablespoon bacon fat in pan. Crumble bacon after cooling.
- Add onion to pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown, about 8 minutes. Turn heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon thyme and pinch of salt. Continue to cook until onions are soft and deep golden brown, about 20 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, combine ricotta, egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pinch of pepper, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 1/4 cup Parmigiano in a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
- Spread ricotta mixture evenly on the bottom of tart shell. Arrange onions on top of ricotta and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon Parmigiano. Sprinkle bacon over top. Transfer to oven and bake until edges of filling are golden grown, 30 to 40 minutes.
