Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (9 inch) refrigerated pie crust
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup diced onion
8 large eggs
¼ teaspoon lemon juice
10 leaves chopped fresh basil
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 tomatoes, diced
1 (12 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place pie crust on a pie pan or baking dish.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
  • Spread mozzarella cheese and tomatoes over the bottom of the pie crust. Whisk eggs, lemon juice, basil, salt, black pepper, and caramelized onion in a large bowl; pour mixture over cheese and tomatoes.
  • Bake in preheated oven until eggs are set and crust is flaky, 30 to 40 minutes.
