Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large onions
8 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup low-fat milk
2 whole eggs
3 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 sheets phyllo dough (17 X 11 inch)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 ounce Canadian bacon, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup shredded cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, combine the onions, scallions, and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until the onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Uncover and cook until the liquid has evaporated and the onions are golden, about 5 minutes longer. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, place the flour in a medium bowl, and gradually whisk in the milk until no lumps remain. Whisk in the whole eggs, egg whites, and cayenne pepper until will combined. Set aside.
  • Place 2 phyllo sheets in a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, overlapping the sheets at right angles and tucking in the edges. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray and brush with 2 teaspoons of the mustard. Top with 3 phyllo sheets, overlapping the sheets at right angles and tucking in the edges. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray and brush with 2 teaspoons mustard. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and 2 teaspoons mustard.
  • Sprinkle the onion mixture and canadian bacon on top of the phyllo, pour the milk mixture over the filling, and place the tart on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese on top and bake for 25 minutes, or until the phyllo is lightly golden and the filling is set.
