Step 1

Prepare the crust. In the bowl of a food processor, place the all-purpose flour, cubed butter and salt. Process until the butter forms into pea-sized crumbs.

Step 2

Add the cold water little by little until the dough comes together into a rough ball.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a table and shape it quickly into a disk. Avoid overworking the dough and warming it with your hands. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and place it in a 9-inch fluted tart pan. Cover the dough with a sheet of crumpled parchment paper and fill it with baking weights. Blind bake for 20 minutes. Remove the baking weights and parchment paper and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Let the crust cool completely.

Step 6

While the tomatoes are roasting, cover the bottom of a heavy-bottomed pan with olive oil. Turn the heat to medium-low and melt the butter in it. Add the onions and let caramelize for 15 minutes stirring every couple of minutes until golden.
