I made a savory bacon, onion and gruyere tart for last night's dinner (recipe from epicurious) I made the pie crust first: Then I sauteed some bacon, followed by some onions in the bacon fat. The onions then went into the baked crust: ... and the bacon: ... and the grated gruyere: ... and finally by the gloriously rich cream mixture which was flavored with nutmeg, salt, and ground black pepper: Here's the tart right after baking: It was unbelievably good, possibly the best thing that has ever left my oven. There was a good balance of flavors - sweetness from the onions, smoky-saltiness from the bacon, a hint of spice from the nutmeg - rounded up nicely by the black pepper, and all held together in the silky smooth custard. Very very tasty, although I would try using a flaky pie crust the next time for a greater textural contrast. Does anyone know of reliable recipes?
