Caramelized Onion Tart

Ingredients

1-9 inch pie shell
6 pcs. bacon julienned, and cooked crisp (reserve the fat)
4 lbs. onion, julienne
½ tsp. Garlic in Oil
½ cup milk
1 whole egg + 1 yolk
1 tsp. Golden Vegetable Base
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

(yields 8 portions)

Bake the pie shell in a preheated 350° oven until it starts to brown. Sauté the onions in some of the reserved bacon fat until caramelized (about 40-50 minutes). Add the Garlic in Oil, toss briefly, and remove from heat. Combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add the onion mixture to the egg mixture, a little at a time, mixing well between additions. Adjust the seasonings and pour into the par-baked pie shell. Bake at 350° until set in the center (35-45 minutes). Allow to stand for 10-15 minutes, to set up before cutting.
