Steps to make French Onion Tart:
- To make the filling: Heat the olive oil and butter in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions and sauté for 2 minutes.
- Cover pot, reduce heat as low as it can go without shutting off, and let cook until onions have cooked down and released a lot of their liquid, about 20 minutes.
- Prepare the crust: Add the flour, salt, and paprika to the bowl of a food processor.
- Pulse once or twice to mix the dry ingredients
- Add the cheese and butter, and then pulse a few times until it forms a sandy-looking mixture
- Add 1 Tbsp. of seltzer, pulse again until a rough ball of dough comes together. If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add more seltzer 1 tsp. at a time (you may not need the entire 2 Tbsps.),and continue to pulse until you have a ball of dough.
- Turn the dough out onto an un-floured counter, flatten and shape into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF
- Filling continued: Remove cover from the pot of onions, raise heat to medium, and add the thyme and season with salt and pepper.
- Let the onions cook, stirring occasionally to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot,until onions turn golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- When onions are golden and very tender stir in the sherry vinegar and broth of choice. Cook and stir until most of the broth has vaporized.
- Remove from heat and, using a slotted spoon, transfer onions to a medium bowl
- NOTE: Let cool a bit before adding cream/egg mixture

- Filling finish: To finish the filling, in a small bowl beat the egg and cream (half and half) together, and then add the mixture to the bowl with the onions. Stir to mix well.
- Overall finish:Pour mixture over the tart crust and spread to the edges. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake for 25 minutes, until slightly puffed and golden.Remove from oven and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
