How to Make Quiche With Caramelized Onions Cream Cheese And Herbs

Make the Pastry Shell:
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tsp salt.
Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 6 tablespoons ice water, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate.
Trim and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork.
Blind bake for 7-8 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
Prepare the Filling:
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Add 2 large onions, thinly sliced. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized (20-30 minutes).
Season with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp sugar.
Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
Spread the caramelized onions evenly in the pre-baked pie shell.
Crumble 8 ounces cream cheese over the onions.
Bake the Quiche:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over the cream cheese and onions.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Optional additions: Add 1/2 cup chopped merguez sausage, smoked turkey, or kefta during step 12.
