Tarte Colonel
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 150 milliliters Milk
- 250 grams Flour
- 50 grams Butter
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 whole Onions
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 250 grams Livarot Cheese
- 250 milliliters Cream
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 pinch Cayenne Or Smoked Paprika Powder
- 8 slices Bacon
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the baking powder and milk.
- Then add the flour, the butter and the egg.
- Mix well and form a ball of pastry.
- Roll out the pastry to a size that will line your tart pan (I used 6 individual tart pans of 41/2 inches, but for a whole pie I would suggest a tart pan of 10 inches).
- Cover with a damp cloth and keep aside at room temperature.
- You could also use a store bought pie crust, or your own favorite pie crust recipe.
- Peel and slice the onions.
- Put them into a skillet with the butter over medium heat.
- Pan fry them, covered, for 20 minutes until soft and slightly brown.
- Preheat the oven to 150 C. Take off the rind of the cheese, and cut cheese into thin slices.
- In a small bowl mix the cream with the egg then add a dash of salt and pepper and a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika powder.
- Put the onions on top of the pastry.
- Add the bacon slices (I always fry these beforehand, but they can also be added raw) and the cheese.
- Then pour in the cream and egg mixture.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 40 minutes and smell the deliciousness.
- Serve with a baby spinach salad with a tangy dressing and some glazed apples.
