Ingredients

2 large onions, halved and sliced
1 tbs olive oil
2 tsp sea salt
1 sheet (about 27 x 36cm) all salted butter puff pastry
2 tbs VEGEMITE
3 eggs
150ml thickened cream
½ cup grated tasty cheese

Method

Make caramelised onion by cooking your onion in the oil with a seasoning of salt over a low medium heat. This process takes time and should be done gently to maximise flavour. Once the onions are jammy and a deep brown colour, remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 200°C fan-forced. Prepare a muffin pan with a quick spray of cooking oil. Using a 10cm circular pastry cutter cut 12 discs of pastry.
Place each disk into the muffin pan pressing to the edges and up the sides. Grab a fork and prick the base of the pastry to prevent it from rising. Place into the oven and cook for 10 minutes or until the pastry just begins to puff and change colour.
While the pastry is still hot, use a pastry brush to brush the insides of the quiche shells with vegemite. Next add in a tsp of caramelised onion. Whisk together the eggs and cream until really well combined, using a small pouring jug, pour in the egg mixture, top with cheese and place back in the oven for a further 20 minutes or until the pastry and cheese is golden and the egg is cooked.

Notes

Cooking time on this is slightly extended due to the caramelised onions, this can be significantly reduced if you purchase a store bought jarred caramelised onion mix.
