Preparation

Step 1

Sauté the onion in butter until tender and slightly caramelized.

Place the cheese in a greased pie plate; top with the onions. Beat the eggs, cream and seasonings.

Pour over all. Bake at 350º for 35-40 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Can be frozen

* Any yellow onion will do because it's cooked long enough to caramelize it and make it sweet, but a Vidalia or Texas 1015 onion would be wonderful.
