Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Vidalia onions (large, thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Crushed Ritz crackers (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Melted butter (for topping)
- 1 whole Unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced Vidalia onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese until smooth. Stir in the salt and black pepper.
Place the sautéed onions evenly into the unbaked pie crust.
Pour the egg, sour cream, and cheese mixture over the onions, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the crushed Ritz crackers and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the pie.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is set.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
