INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups buttery round crackers, crumbled
  • 6 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 cups thinly sliced sweet onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crackers and 4 tablespoons of butter in a bowl until well blended. Press into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of 8 inch pie plate to form a shell. Refrigerate until needed.
  3. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic slowly until tender, about 12 minutes. Arrange onions in the cracker crust.
  4. Beat eggs, whole milk, chives, and salt in a bowl until blended. Pour the mixture over the onions. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika.
  5. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 35 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Garnish with the parsley. Serve hot or at room temperature.

This was wonderful!! Not for everyone though. I had a lot of people who were kind of afraid to try it but those who did absolutely raved about it. It needs to sit a while before cutting for the best results.

This dish has very goos flavor and is pretty easy to make. However, it is a bit greasy and you need to let it stand for a short time.

This is very good; the onions come out nice and sweet. I recommend one significant change, however: baking the crumb crust for several minutes before adding the onions and egg/milk mixture, otherwise it ends up soggy. Also, you can switch up what type of cheese you use or add slices of tomato on top for an attractive presentation.
