Roll out your puff pastry and line your tart ring.

Remove paper and beans when cool and leave to aside.

Slice onions and chop the thyme and rosemary, place into a large pan and cook with a little butter and vegetable oil until golden.

Season well and add the nutmeg, leave to cool.

Crack all the eggs and mix with the cream, pour over the cool onion mix then transfer into the baked tart case.

Place the tart into the oven again at 160C and bake for 25 to 35 minutes.
