VIDALIA ONION PIE
Steps:
- For the crust: All ingredients should be cold. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add shortening and butter. Using a pastry blender cut in the shortening and butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Drop by drop, add cold water. Mix in with the fingertips, not with the hands as the palms will warm the dough. Continue mixing water in until the dough begins to hold together without being sticky but not crumbly. Place dough in plastic wrap. Fold over plastic wrap and press down to form a disk. This will make rolling out easier after chilling. Finish wrapping in plastic and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Lightly spray a deep 9-inch pie pan or an 8 1/2-inch fluted flan pan. Roll out dough and place in pie plate. Return to the refrigerator until filling is ready. Makes pastry for a 9-inch single crust pie.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- For the filling: Brush egg wash on the inside of pie crust. Return to refrigerator until filling is ready. Over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and saute until translucent. Do not brown. Combine eggs, sour cream and flour. Add onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and pour into chilled pie crust. Top with Parmesan. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F for the last 20 minutes or until center is set.
TOMATO-VIDALIA ONION PIE
This is so good when you have homegrown tomatoes. One pie serves 6 - 8, but not in our family. I always make at least 2 pies....one is never enough for this bunch.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 2. Slice the peeled tomatoes and drain the slices on paper towels.
- 3. Place the drained tomatoes into the pie shell. Top with chopped onion. Sprinkle with basil.
- 4. Combine bacon, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and mayonnaise. Add a little more mayonnaise if the mixture is too stiff. Spread the mixture over the top of the pie.
- 5. Bake for 25 minutes or until bubble and golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the Vidalia onions. This will help them cook evenly and caramelize nicely.
- Sauté the onions in butter until they are golden brown. This will bring out their sweetness and flavor.
- Add mushrooms to the onions and cook until they are soft. This will add a savory flavor to the pie.
- Use a pre-made pie crust to save time. You can also make your own pie crust if you prefer.
- Brush the edges of the pie crust with an egg wash. This will help the crust to brown and crisp in the oven.
- Bake the pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
Vidalia onion and mushroom pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet onions and savory mushrooms complement each other perfectly, and the creamy sauce and flaky crust make this pie irresistible.
