When Vidalia onions appear at our markets in the early Spring, I rush home to make this pie. You can omit the crust for less carbs, and it freezes beautifully.
Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced vidalia onions shopping list
- 4 tablespoons butter shopping list
- 2 eggs, beaten shopping list
- ½ cup sour cream shopping list
- dash each of: salt, pepper, garlic and Tabasco shopping list
- 1 cup grated gruyere cheese shopping list
- 1 pie crust (I usually use the refrigerated crusts) shopping list
- ¼ cup fresh grated parmesan cheese shopping list
How to make it
- In a large skillet, sauté sliced onions in butter until nicely golden. In bowl, mix together eggs, sour cream and seasonings; add egg mixture to sautéd onions. Add gruyere cheese and gently stir mixture to blend ingredients. Pour into a 10-inch glass pie plate lined with a pie crust (I like to pre-bake my crust for 8 minutes at 350 degrees before adding the filling). Top quiche with the parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes; reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake another 15 minutes.
- Note: if you omit the pie crust, just pour the filling into a well buttered 10-inch glass pie plate as bake as directed.

This is one of my favorite recipes, Mom! And it's so versatile; you can really use anything in place of the Vidalias. And if you are eating on a low carb plan, you can just omit the crust, and it's every bit as good.

My favorite onion pie ever and I'm so with you on the refrigerated crusts. I used to rave about mom's crust and she would labor over them every year and then one year after a particularly wonderful piece of pie, she pulled me aside and confessed it ...more
