Instructions

For the pie crust: preheat the oven to 390 F. Mix quickly the butter with the flour and the water until the ingredients stick together and form a firm dough. Roll a large disk and line a spring form with the crust, 8.6 inches in diameter (not bigger). Bake the pie crust in the oven for 15-20 minutes and let cool.
For the onions: Fry the onions in the butter over low heat until the onions have softened, about 10 minutes. Add sugar and salt, then cook for 5 more minutes. Place the caramelized onions onto the pie crust and distribute anchovy fillets over.
For the filling: stir together the anchovy broth with the heavy cream and the eggs, then season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the onions and bake the pie in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes and garnish with some romaine lettuce (optional).
