Spotlight purple spring onions in this recipe with a keto pastry crust, crème fraîche, gruyère and roasted pistachios - perfect for weekend entertaining. If you ain't on keto, just use a regular pastry crust. You can also use ready-made pastry to cut down the cooking time so you can bake this delicious vegetarian tart midweek for the family. Use white variety of spring onions if you can't find the purple one, which has a milder onion flavour.

- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Lightly butter a 36cm / 14inch rectangular tart pan with a removable bottom. Prepare the pork rind crust and press into the sides and the bottom of the prepared tart pan. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Line the pastry case with crumpled baking paper and fill with pastry weights or some dried beans. Blind bake for 15 minutes, then take out the beans and paper and cook for another 5 minutes or until the pastry looks dry and golden.
- Clean and wash the purple spring onions. Cut the roots off if you prefer. Place them in a large bowl and pour boiling water over and leave it for 10 seconds. Remove and cool in iced water or under cold running water. Squeeze out the excess water. Arrange the purple spring onions into the crust.
- Whisk together eggs, crème fraîche, cheese and lemon zest until combined. Taste and season. Pour the mixture over the spring onions into the tart case. Bake for 35 minutes until golden on top and just set. Remove from the oven, then leave to cool completely before serving. Garnish with chopped pistachios and sprouts.

Crème fraîche, gruyère, pistachios ... these are some of my favorite things! And what a nice combination! I've never seen purple spring onions, but I'll keep my eye out for them.
This quiche looks sensational! Using purple spring onions to make the quiche is a good idea
Looks gorgeous, I have never seen purple onions in their spring form although I do cook all the time with the purple onions, they look so appetizing. Why did you leave the roots on them? Are those really chewable and edible? I think I would defo dice the whole onion instead of leaving it whole, would give it a better taste, methinks.
@DEZMOND Just thought they look nice...like sometimes I will use unpeeled garlic cloves.
That sure looks wonderful, love those purple onions!
Love the crust, the filling even better, softer version of focaccia, beautiful
Las quiches son una debilidad para nosotros y como admiten tantos ingredientes son buenas incluso para recetas de aprovechamiento. Te ha quedado maravillosa.
How gorgeous! I love that you made it in the rectangular pan, it looks amazing!

This quiche looks so beautiful and original!
I am a great fan of quiche and this looks exceptional, Angie.
Gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
I don't think I've ever seen purple spring onions. Regardless, the quiche looks and sounds so wonderful; loving the addition of pistachios!
I especially love the shape of this quiche and not only does it sound delicious but it looks very pretty too.
I absolutely love this recipe for a purple spring onion tart! The combination of the keto pastry crust with crème fraîche, gruyère, and roasted pistachios sounds divine. It's perfect for a weekend gathering or even a quick midweek meal if you opt for ready-made pastry.
That looks nice Angie.
Looks delicious, Angie, thanks for sharing.
Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
Interesting recipe, we eat a lot of quiches so this will be different. Thanks.
The weather has also been foul here and all sorts of strange things going on.
We do though have a to of baby Blackbirds Blue Tits and Great Tits around. The Jay pops in most days and we had a young woodpecker visit the other day. Not so welcome but thankfully it only zapped a dove of which we have too many was a Sparrowhawk, I did get some good photos of it, but I am so far behind with blogging it will be a while before it gets posted. I did manage a few garden shots from May the other day but I am far behind.
Cheers Diane

All the best Jan

That's a lot of onions. So onion-y and I bet caramelized to sweetness by end of baking/cooking
This looks so yummy.
I have never seen purple spring onions.
I have to try them some day!
