Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Pierce the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles.

In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced Vidalia onions and cook until soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over the onions for caramelization.
-
Season the onions with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then let the onions cool slightly.
-
Whisk together the eggs and heavy cream in a mixing bowl.
-
Spread the caramelized onions over the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyere cheese on top.
-
Pour the egg mixture over the onions and cheese, ensuring even distribution.
-
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
-
Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
