-
2 tablespoon butter

1 pound yellow onions, peeled, halved, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
-
1 teaspoon sugar
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
¼ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
-
4 - 6 ounce thinly sliced pancetta
-
7 - 8 cup ciabatta or crusty baguette bread, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
-
8 ounce fresh goat cheese
-
¾ cup dried figs, stems removed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

½ cup whipping cream
-
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

2 tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary, coarsely chopped
Directions
-
Butter a 3-quart baking dish; scatter the bread in the dish and set aside. In a large skillet heat the 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the onions, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook and stir for 10 minutes. Add thyme and cook for 10 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Onions should be tender and lightly browned. Spoon over bread in dish.
-
Return the skillet to the heat. Add pancetta slices and cook until lightly browned, but not crisp. Crumble goat cheese over onion mixture and top with pancetta and figs.
-
In a large mixing bowl whisk the eggs well until blended. Whisk in the olive oil and cream until very well blended. Whisk in Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg. Pour egg mixture over layers in dish. Cover and chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
-
Remove baking dish from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl stir together rosemary with just enough olive oil to coat and a pinch of kosher salt. Uncover dish; sprinkle casserole with rosemary mixture and several grinds of black pepper. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Remove and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with additional fresh rosemary, if desired.
