Ingredients
- 1 package shortcrust pastry
- 50 grams butter
- 150 grams bacon (crumbled)
- 500 grams onions (finely sliced into rings)
- 1 teaspoon couscous
- 50 grams flour
- 500 milliliters milk
- salt
- ground black pepper
- nutmeg
- 4 eggs (medium-sized)
Directions
- Line a 22-centimeter tart pan with parchment paper and lay the shortcrust pastry in it. Refrigerate while making the filling.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot, melt 1 teaspoon of butter and add the bacon. Saute a few seconds until the bacon starts to give off its fat. At that point, add in the onions, stir, and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
- Add the couscous, stir, and wait until it puffs up.
- Separately, make the bechamel sauce. Melt the other 50 grams of butter, add the flour, stir, and let cook through a few moments. Stream in the milk and keep whisking until the sauce thickens. Add a pinch of nutmeg, and salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. Incorporate the bechamel sauce and the onions with the bacon. Pour into the tart pan.
- Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden.
