Method

  1. Put the pastry ingredients in a food processor and pulse, adding a splash of milk if the dough seems dry. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a shallow 20cm round, fluted tart tin. Pop in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, melt the butter and oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, for 20 minutes or until soft and golden. Season well.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200C/fan180C/gas 6. Line the pastry case with baking paper and beans and place on a baking sheet. Blind bake for 15 minutes, remove the paper and beans and bake for a further 5 minutes, until pale golden.
  5. Reduce the oven temperature to 180C/fan160C/gas 4. Whisk the eggs, yolks and cream. Stir in the onions and chopped thyme, then spoon into the pastry case. Crumble over the cheese and bake for 25 minutes. Garnish with thyme sprigs and serve with a mixed leaf salad.
