Ingredients

• 1 - 9 Inch tart shell, packaged
• 48 - Small soft-shell clams, minced
• 4 - Large eggs
• 1 - Cup light cream
• 0.25 - Teaspoon (tsp) nutmeg, grated
• 0.5 - Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.125 - Teaspoon (tsp) white pepper
• 4 - Slices bacon, cooked
• 2 - Tablespoons (tbsp) onion, minced

Steps

1. Place the oven rack on the highest level and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Set the prebaked tart shell on a baking sheet.
2. Finely mince the clams and reserve 0.5 cups of the liquid. Whisk the eggs well, then add the clam liquid, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and stir in the clams.
3. Fry the bacon over moderate heat until crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside. Leave about 0.5 tablespoons of bacon grease in the pan, add the onion, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Crumble the bacon into the tart shell and add the onion. Carefully pour the custard mixture into the shell.
5. Transfer the tart to the preheated oven and bake on the top rack until the center is set, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Serve hot or warm.
