The trick to making this simple, stylish dish taste incredible is this: Don't rush. You want to really caramelize the onions to give the galette a silky texture and deep, rich, decadent flavor. But when you're done, you'll have a rustic, free-form version of a savory tart that's pretty enough to serve guests. Or make one for yourself on a quiet Sunday, and keep leftovers for weekday lunches. You can serve it with a slice with a simple side salad for a vegetarian-friendly lunch or dinner, or pair with your favorite eggs for a decadent brunch.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
3 pounds yellow onions, cut into 1/2-in. wedges
4 thyme sprigs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ (16-oz.) pkg. refrigerated whole-wheat piecrusts
1 ½ ounces Gruyère cheese, shredded (about 1/3 cup)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon water

Directions

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium. Add onions, thyme and salt; cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until onions caramelize, about 45 minutes. Discard thyme stems. Stir in vinegar and pepper.
Unroll piecrust on a sheet of parchment paper, and use a rolling pin to roll out to a 13-inch circle. Pile onion mixture in middle of circle and spread evenly, leaving a 2-inch border; sprinkle cheese over onion filling. Fold edges of dough over filling.
Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl; brush over dough. Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
