Heat two teaspoons of the butter in a skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they are wilted. Add the beef and cook, stirring and breaking up any lumps with the side of a heavy metal spoon. Cook until the meat has lost its raw look. If any fat has accumulated, drain it off in a sieve and discard it.

Combine the whole egg, egg yolk, cream, milk and chives or scallions in a mixing bowl and beat thoroughly. Add the meat mixture and stir to blend.

I made this with leek and ground lamb in place of the onion and ground beef,and used half and half in place of the heavy cream. I used the suggested recipe for the tart dough. This would be great picnic fare. At room temperature, the flavors all mingle nicely. It is a volume constrained recipe -- I added the ground meat mixture to the tart shell, then spooned the custard over it to make sure that things did not overflow.
