Description

A few tips on caramelizing: low and slow. You don’t want to burn them. Add a little kosher salt at the beginning, to aid in the release of moisture, and soon you’ll have some buttery golden strands of onion goodness.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large Vidalia onion
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1 single crust pie shell (pastry)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9? tart pan or pie pan with the pie dough.
  2. Pierce with a fork and bake in a preheated 375 oven for 8-10 minutes.
  3. Remove from oven and set aside. In a medium skillet over medium low heat, arrange the sliced onions in a single layer with 1 tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle ? teaspoon of Kosher salt over the onions, and cook until soft and golden. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the eggs, bacon, cheeses and milk. Add the onions and mix well. Pour filling into a prebaked pie shell. Reduce oven temperature to 350 and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until set.
