Description
A delightful blend of caramelized onions encased in a flaky crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large onions, thinly sliced
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using a store-bought pie crust, fit it into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside. If making a homemade crust, roll it out and place it in the pie dish, trimming any excess dough.
- In the skillet, add olive oil and thinly sliced onions. Sauté until caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour the onion mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pie crust.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to a month.
