01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter and cook the shallots and onions, stirring occasionally, until they’re soft and translucent—this should take about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or two, then season everything with a pinch of salt.

Step 2
Turn the heat up to medium and pour in the white wine. Let it simmer until the wine has mostly cooked off. Sprinkle in the flour and stir it all together. Toss in the wood sorrel and keep stirring for about a minute. Once everything is combined, take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool down a bit.

Step 3
While that’s cooling, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, and black pepper in a large bowl. When the sorrel mix has cooled, add it to the eggs along with half of the Gruyere and Parmesan cheeses. Give it all a good stir.

Step 4
Pour this filling into your pie crust, then sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly on top. Pop the tart into the oven and bake for around an hour, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the tart feels set. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This tart combines the sweet, caramelized flavor of onions with the fresh, lemony zing of wood sorrel. The contrast of rich and bright tastes makes every bite interesting and satisfying. It’s a unique dish that feels both comforting and refreshing.
How to serve
Serve warm or at room temperature with a simple green salad on the side. A light vinaigrette dressing pairs well with the tart’s flavors. This dish also makes a lovely appetizer or a light lunch option with a glass of chilled white wine.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a low oven to keep the crust crisp. Avoid microwaving as it can make the pastry soggy.
