Ingredients

For the pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. Prepare the Pie: Place the French-fried onion rings evenly in the unbaked pie shell, creating a flavorful base.

  3. Mix the Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

🥄 Whisk together thoroughly to ensure a smooth custard; this helps create a perfect texture.

  1. Combine: Pour the egg mixture over the onions in the pie shell, ensuring an even distribution.

  2. Cheesy Finish: Top with the grated sharp cheese, adding a generous layer for that gooey, melty goodness.

  3. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 425°F. After that, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 15-20 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden.

⏲️ Make sure to check the pie around the 15-minute mark to avoid overbaking; it should have a slight jiggle in the center.

Serving Suggestions

This pie can be enjoyed warm or cold. Pair it with a light green salad dressed in vinaigrette for a complete meal!
