Ingredients

Pie crust
1 (9-inch) crust
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Milk
1 cup
Eggs
3 large
Sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups, grated
Unsalted butter
2 tablespoons
Onions
2 large, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until combined. Stir in the grated sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
  4. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly.
  5. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  6. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the caramelized onions, ensuring all onions are covered.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs like thyme or chives into the filling.
  • 💡 Try using a mix of cheeses, such as Gruyère or fontina, alongside the cheddar for a more complex flavor profile.
  • 💡 This pie can be made in advance and reheated, making it a great option for meal prep.
