Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized (about 30-40 minutes).
Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, and sugar.
Pour the caramelized onion mixture into the pie crust.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the onions.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
Let cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
