This Onion Cottage Cheese Tart is a savory and light dish that combines the sweetness of caramelized onions with creamy cottage cheese and tangy feta, all encased in a flaky pie crust. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner, it’s easy to prepare and delivers rich flavors with a healthy twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Filling

  • 2 large sweet onions, sliced
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking the tart evenly.
  2. Prepare crust: Fit the pie crust into a tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbles during baking.
  3. Caramelize onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; add the sliced onions and cook slowly until they turn golden brown and soft, approximately 15-20 minutes, to bring out their natural sweetness.
  4. Mix filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, eggs, chopped fresh thyme or parsley, salt, and pepper. Fold in the caramelized onions to integrate the flavors.
  5. Assemble tart: Pour the onion and cheese mixture into the prepared tart crust, then evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top.
  6. Bake: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh thyme with parsley or other herbs like chives for variation.
  • For a richer tart, use full-fat cottage cheese and eggs.
  • To make the crust from scratch, use your favorite pie dough recipe or a pre-made shortcrust pastry.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a side salad.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven.
