Caramelised Onion, Bacon & Camembert Tart

Delicious Bits's Note:

This is ideal for a light lunch or snack served with a fresh, crisp summer salad. I found it in an Australian Weight Watchers magazine many years ago. (5pts ea serve) PS. I use the low fat or regular equivalent, doesn't make any difference.

The flavor in this was wonderful! Mine turned out really watery, but I don't think I drained the onions well enough. I think it would be best to drain in a colander first, then turn it out on paper towels. I also added chopped apples to the onion mixture while it was cooking. That may have added to the extra water, but who knows. Despite not being very pretty on the plate, it still tasted great!
