Texas Sweet Onion Pie

By á-49759

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large onion, sliced thin, 5 1/2 ounces *
• 8 ounces Monterey jack cheese, shredded
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon chili powder (regular and chipotle are both good)

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.
