Categories     Breakfast     Main Course

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Deep dish pie shell (uncooked)
3 pounds Mixed onions (red, white, yellow and vidalia) (chopped)
2 Eggs
1 cup Crème Fraîche (can substitute plain yogurt or sour cream)
4 dashes Hot pepper sauce
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Bacon and chives to garnish (optional)
1 cup Mayonnaise
1 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Slice 3 onions using a food processor and place in a slow cooker and cook on high for 6-8 hours or until caramelized to golden brown.
  • Now that the onions have caramelized drain off the juices and set aside for later.
  • Place onions in a large bowl to cool completely. Once onions have cooled add creme fraiche, hot pepper sauce, eggs, salt and pepper. If you feel you need a little moisture in your mixture add just a tiny bit of onion juice. You don't want too much juice or your crust will be soggy. Stir until well incorporated and place in uncooked pie shell.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a small bowl combine all the topping ingredients. Place on top of onion pie spreading out evenly to edges of crust. To avoid crust from burning cover edges with pie shield and bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes.
  • Remove pie shield and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until top of pie is completed golden brown on top.
  • Remove pie from oven and allow to cool a few minutes prior to serving. Garnish with bacon and chives if desired. The pie can be served warm, cold, or room temperature.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Andi

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Onion

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups buttery round crackers, crumbled

1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
¾ cup whole milk
2 eggs
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pinch paprika
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of onions for a more complex flavor. Yellow, white, and red onions all have slightly different flavors, so using a mix of them will create a more interesting dish.
  • Don't be afraid to caramelize the onions. Caramelized onions are sweeter and more flavorful than raw onions, and they add a lovely depth of flavor to the pie.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this pie, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère are both good choices.
  • Make sure the pie crust is well-baked. A soggy pie crust is not pleasant to eat, so make sure to bake it until it is golden brown and flaky.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

This onion brunch pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a pie that will impress your family and friends.
