Line with a piece of waxed paper and fill with dried beans or uncooked rice to prevent shrinkage. Bake at 400º for 10 minutes. Remove wax paper. Bake 5 minutes longer, until lightly browned. watch pasty carefully and if it starts to puff up, press it down against dish. Do not prick with a fork because the filling will seep through any holes in the pastry. Remove baked pastry shell from oven and cool.
Melt1 tbsp butter in large skillet, add sliced onion and cook until tender but not brown; remove and reserve. Add remaining 3 tbsp butter and heat. Add chopped onions and cook covered over low heat for 35 to 40 minutes until onions are tender and slightly golden. Remove from heat, sprinkle with flour and mix well.
Cook bacon until well done, but not crisp and brown; drain. Beat together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, thyme and nutmeg.
