Prep Time: 45 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total: 1 hr 15 mins

Ingredients:

• 7 eggs
• 1/2 C. Oatmilk (heavy cream if not DF)
• 10-12 Asparagus stalks
• 1/2 C. Caramelized onions*
• 2 oz Goat cheese
• 1 tsp Herbs de Provence

Crust ingredients:

• 1.5 C All Purpose flour
• 10 Tbsp COLD unsalted vegan Butter (regular unsalted butter if vegan)
• 1 tsp salt
• 3.5 Tbsp ice water
• 1 egg

Crust Prep:

1. In a large bowl add flour, and salt. Grate COLD butter into flour, or cut into small cubes and use a pastry cutter to cut butter into pea sized balls in flour. Or use a food processor and blend until butter and flour have formed a rough dough.
2.  Mix one egg with ice water in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Add egg mixture to flour/butter blend and mix together until the dough starts to form a ball. Feel free to dump mixture on to a flat surface and knead with your hands until the dough starts to form a ball. *Be sure not to over knead! Just enough so that it forms a ball. Over mixing can melt the butter and activate the flour.
4. Cover the dough ball with plastic wrap or place it in a bowl with a towel, and place in the fridge for 1 hour. Or freezer for 30 minutes.  (This can also be prepped the night before and kept in the fridge overnight)

*Caramelized Onions:

1. Thinly slice one medium yellow onion.
2. Heat a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil and 1 Tbsp of butter of ghee.
3. Add sliced onion to pan and mix throughout olive oil/butter. Turn heat down to medium heat and allow onions to cook slowly, stirring onions in the pan every few minutes for 30-40 minutes.
4. Onions should be a dark caramelized brown and very soft. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembly:

1. PREHEAT oven 365℉
2. On a flat surface, roll out dough to about ½ cm thin.
3. Place into 9” round pie pan or tart pan. Trim excess crust, smooth out and crimp the edges.
4. Place parchment paper over the crust and add pie weights, or ½ C of dried beans or rice.  Par-bake the crust in a heated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
5. In a bowl mix 7 eggs, oatmilk, 1 tsp salt, and a dash of cracked pepper.
6. Place chopped asparagus, caramelized onion (see below), knobs of goat cheese, and herbs de Provence in the pie pan.
7. Pour egg mixture over filing.
