1 Egg White, lightly Beaten
2 T. Butter
1 1/2 lb. Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
1 T. minced Tarragon
1 tsp. minced Thyme
4 Sun-Dried Tomatoes, softened in boiling water, drained and minced

Prepare tart shell by fitting to pan and baking. When cool, lightly brush shell with beaten egg white to seal bottom and prevent it from getting soggy. Preheat oven to 400. In nonstick skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add onions and herbs and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook 2 minutes more. Scoop into strainer and drain until ready to use. In mixing bowl combine eggs, yolk, milk, cream, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in gouda. Spread onions over bottom of tart shell. Pour in egg mixture. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and grated parmesan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until top is lightly browned and filling is set. Let cool on a rack for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot.
