Ingredients

  • 1 frozen pie crust
  • 1 small onion sliced thin
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk preferably 1% or 2%
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 4 oz. goat cheese cut into small chunks

Instructions

  • Prebake the pie crust per the package instructions.
  • While the pie crust is baking, make the caramelized onions. Heat up the butter in a skillet on low heat.
  • Once the butter is melted, add the onions and sprinkle in 1/4 tsp of salt. Continue to cook the onions on low, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Once the pie crust is ready, set the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
  • While the onions are cooking, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk 1/4 tsp of pepper, and the other 1/4 tsp of salt in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
  • Once the onions are ready (they should be brown, soft, and have a caramel color), remove the onions to the pre-baked pie crust. Layer evenly in the pre-baked pie crust.
  • Sprinkle in the goat cheese chunks evenly as well.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the crust on top of the onions and cheese. Using a fork, gently grab some onions and float them to the top so they are evenly mixed and not at the bottom.
  • Place carefully in the oven at bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set. 
  • Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
