Instructions
- To caramelize onions (if not using pre-made onions): In a small frying pan, melt butter or heat oil, then add your thinly sliced onions. Cook on medium, stirring occasionally until onions are a rich golden brown. If the onions are sticking to pan, stir in water a tablespoon at a time and stir in any tasty brown bits. This will take about 30 minutes.
- If using a crust, fit the crust into the pie pan. Use either an 10/11-inch tart pan or a 9-inch deep dish pie pan. Prick crust with a fork, then prebake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees until beginning to brown.
- Blend eggs, half & half, salt and pepper in a large bowl or blender. Stir in cooled caramelized onions and ¾ cup shredded cheese by hand.
- Pour egg mixture into the crust, then sprinkle with bacon bits, thyme, and remaining cheese.
- Bake at 350 until knife inserted near center comes out clean, 30-45 minutes.
Notes
- Omit the bacon bits or used a plant-based substitute for vegetarian.
