• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 large sweet onions (like Vidalia), thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (or Gruyère for extra flavor)

🧅 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges.
(Optional: Blind bake the crust for 8 minutes to keep it extra crisp.)

2️⃣ Sauté the onions:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and cook slowly until soft, golden, and sweet — about 15–20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

3️⃣ Prepare the filling:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

4️⃣ Assemble the pie:
Spread the sautéed onions evenly into the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the onions.
Pour the egg mixture on top.

5️⃣ Bake:
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

6️⃣ Cool slightly and serve:
Let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature — it’s amazing either way! 🥰
