SWISS ONION QUICHE
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
6 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
Sauté the onions in butter until tender and slightly browned. Grease a 9-10" glass pie plate. Arrange the cheese on the bottom of the plate; top with the onions and spread them evenly over the cheese. Beat the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and chives well. Pour evenly over the cheese and onions. Bake at 350º for 35-40 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes or so to set before slicing.

This recipe was originally posted HERE at Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes. This is my husband's favorite quiche. I have made one change to this recipe since I posted it years ago on my site. Instead of using 1 cup of cream, I now only use 1/2 cup to save money. I also do this with all of the quiches that I make. The recipe above still lists 1 cup of cream and the nutritional counts reflect this. You'll get a slightly fluffier consistency with more cream but it does come out just fine with half that amount.
This is very similar to a dish I make called Texas Sweet Onion Pie. I got the recipe ages ago and don't know who to credit for it.
ReplyDeleteI have the Texas Sweet Onion Pie recipe on my website HERE. I think it may have originally come from Southern Living Magazine.
