Melt 1/2 the butter over a medium flame and add the onions, give a pinch of salt and 1/4 tsp sugar to help carmelize and bring out the sweetness of the onion, then cook about 10-15 minutes, stirring as needed, until the onions are carmelized. Spread the onions over the bottom of the cake pan evenly. 3.. Melt the rest of the butter in the pan and add the garlic, mushrooms, and the stems of the asparagus, turn the flame to medium high and add the rest of the butter, as needed, to saute for about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced sweet potato, toss to mix and add salt and pepper to taste. Pour half this mixture into the cake pan over the onions. 4. In a separate bowl, whip the eggs, sour cream, neufchatel cheese together until frothy. Sprinkle in the flour and baking powder slowly, while beating with the mixer, to incorporate. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, the nutmeg, cloves and lemon juice. Whip till frothy and pour half the mixture over the vegetables in the cake pan, add the remaining vegetables and then add the rest of the egg mixture. 5. Steam the asparagus tips for about 1 minute to blanch, the arrange these on top of the tarte. Grate the parmesean cheese over the top and then sprinkle a touch of ground chipotle pepper powder over the top for color. 6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the egg mixture has set in the middle.
