Fontina provides similar meltability at a lower cost.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: pecorino cheese

Pecorino offers a similar flavor profile.

Melt butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add sliced onions and cook until soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.

Stir in salt, black pepper, and thyme; cook for another 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Roll out pie crust and fit it into a tart pan; prick the bottom with a fork.

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, gruyere cheese, parmesan cheese, eggs, and milk; mix until smooth.

Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the crust.

Pour the cheese mixture over the onions, spreading it evenly.

Sprinkle with nutmeg and additional thyme if desired.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tart is set and golden on top.

Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
