Individual Onion And Smoked Cheddar Quiches

1. 1

   To make the Parmesan dough, combine flour, cheese and butter in a food processor and pulse until crumbly. Pulse in egg yolk and enough ice water to make ingredients just come together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 mins.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Oil 6 - 3 1/2 inch round, loose-bottomed tart pans. Divide chilled dough into 6 pieces. Roll each piece out until 1/8 inch thick and use to line pans, trimming edges. Cover and chill for 20 mins.

3. 3

   Place tart shells on a baking tray. Cover each tart shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Bake for 10 mins. Remove paper and beans. Bake for 5 mins, or until light golden brown. Let cool.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 15 mins, or until caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

5. 5

   Whisk eggs and cream together. Season. Distribute caramelized onion between tart shells and cover with egg mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and thyme and bake for 25 mins, or until set.
