How to Make Swiss Cheese Onion Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 large onions, thinly sliced, and cook until caramelized, about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Add 1 ½ cups of shredded Swiss cheese to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Pour the caramelized onions into a 9-inch pie dish.
  6. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the onions.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  8. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
