Crust

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In food processor, pulse flours and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined. Add butter pulse until coarse crumbs form.

Grease a nine-inch Pyrex dish lightly with butter.

On a lightly floured surface, with floured rolling pin, roll dough into 12-inch round and place in Pyrex dish. Gently press against bottom and up side without stretching; trim the edges and prick holes in crust with a fork and line with foil. Bake crust for 15 minutes or until set.

Cool completely.

Add onion, thyme, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook for three to four minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk.
