Caramelized Onion Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups buttery round crackers, crumbled
  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 cups thinly sliced sweet onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest setting, 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), before commencing with the recipe.
2
In a large mixing bowl, merge crackers and 4 tablespoons of softened butter until they form a harmonious union. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of an 8-inch pie plate to create a crust-like foundation. Allow it to chill in the refrigerator until required.
3
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Gradually cook sliced onions and minced garlic slowly until they become tender, taking approximately 12 minutes to achieve this; transfer them to the prepared crust.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, chopped chives, and salt until they are fully incorporated. Pour this mixture over the sautéed onions and sprinkle with cheese and paprika.
5
Place the prepared pie in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Decorate with parsley and serve hot or at room temperature.
