Servings: 6

Ingredients

Pie crust
1 (9-inch) pre-made or homemade
Onion
1 large, thinly sliced
Swiss cheese
1 cup, shredded
Large eggs
4
Milk
1 cup
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon
Olive oil
1 tablespoon (for sautéing onions)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring an even thickness along the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the layer of onions, ensuring even distribution.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  7. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the onions and cheese in the pie crust, allowing it to fill the spaces evenly.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  9. Once baked, allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
