Method
Crust Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.

Chill the Dough
Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the edges. Trim any excess dough.

Pre-bake the Crust
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork, line it with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for another 10 minutes until lightly golden.

Caramelize the Onions
Peel and slice the onions thinly. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
