2. Sauté the Onions
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sliced onions. Cook slowly, stirring often, for about 15–20 minutes, until they’re soft, golden, and lightly caramelized. Don’t rush this step—it’s where all the flavor builds!
Season with salt, pepper, and any herbs you’re using.
3. Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Stir in most of the cheese (save a little for the topping), then add the cooked onions and mix until well combined.
4. Assemble the Pie
Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Pour the onion mixture into the crust, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
5. Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden and bubbling. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
