Melt the butter in a large pan. Add all the onions and season, then cover and cook gently for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are very soft and starting to caramelise. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

Bake for 10 minutes then lift out the paper and beans and bake for a further 5 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.

Place the crème fraîche, eggs and nutmeg in a large bowl. Season with pepper and whisk together.
