Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similarly sized casserole dish.
In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced Vidalia onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
Remove the onions from heat and let them cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Fold the cooled cooked onions into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed butter crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the buttered cracker crumbs evenly over the onion mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cracker topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
