Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Vidalia onions
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similarly-sized casserole dish.
Peel and slice the Vidalia onions into thin rings. You should have about 4 cups of sliced onions.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the onions to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Stir in the sour cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Add the sautéed onions to the egg mixture and stir to coat the onions evenly. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour the onion mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the crushed Ritz crackers over the top of the casserole to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cracker topping is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
