Instructions
- For the dough, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt, then add the lukewarm milk and the soft butter.
- Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until you have a smooth, elastic dough, cover and leave to rise for 1 hour.

- Roll out the dough in a buttered tart tin and prick the base with a fork.
- Spread the onions over the dough, then sprinkle with caraway.
- Beat the eggs with the cream, milk, grated cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper, then pour over the onions.
- Bake at 200 °C for 30 to 35 minutes, until the custard is set and golden.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting.
