Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 large yellow onions
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.75 cups blue cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter.
Peel and thinly slice the onions. Add them to the skillet with the salt and sugar.
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges as desired.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined.
Season the egg mixture with black pepper and stir in the fresh thyme leaves.
Evenly spread the caramelized onions across the bottom of the prepared crust.
Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the onions.
Pour the egg mixture over the onions and cheese, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.
Top the quiche with the grated parmesan cheese.
Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled as desired. Enjoy!
