French onion tart recipe

I baked this tart this afternoon. I already had lunch and was not hungry at all anymore. However this tart smelled so good… My stomach let out a loud rumble while I was taking pictures! This was so difficult to not take a little piece of this delicious onion tart.

I was baking for next week. I like to make a tart and eat one piece a day with a green salad for lunch. Adrien likes it too, then he can take one piece at work too. I am so waiting tomorrow to eat a large piece of this tart. I really like to take home made food at work. This is always healthier, cheaper and tastier, don’t you think? Unfortunately this is time consuming and this is easier to buy a sandwich or to eat in a little restaurant next door.

If like me you enjoy baking plenty of tarts, you can have a look at the tarts and pie archives. This one is a classic French tart filled with onions.
