PREPARATION

To make the homemade caramelized onion compote

  3. Add the onions and cook over low heat for about 25–30 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft and lightly golden.
  4. Sprinkle with brown sugar (or honey), add the balsamic vinegar, and let caramelize for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

To make the quiche

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Unroll the shortcrust pastry into a lightly buttered tart pan and prick the base with a fork.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the cream and milk.
  4. Add the wholegrain mustard, parsley, dill, a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  5. Drizzle with a little olive oil for a smoother texture.
  6. Spread the caramelized onion compote evenly over the pastry base.
  7. Gently crumble the Groix & Nature White Albacore Tuna Fillets and distribute over the onions.
  8. Pour the quiche mixture over the top and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the quiche is golden and slightly puffed.
  10. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tasting advice

Serve this quiche warm as a gourmet starter for a festive meal or Christmas brunch, accompanied by a salad of young shoots or arugula dressed with a drizzle of olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar.

For a festive touch, add a few chopped roasted hazelnuts before baking or a thinly grated truffle just before serving.
