Description
A savory pie featuring caramelized Vidalia onions, sharp cheddar cheese, and a crispy Ritz cracker crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cups Vidalia onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers (about 2 sleeves)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced Vidalia onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the caramelized onions, black pepper, garlic powder, dried thyme, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream, and eggs. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, mix the crushed Ritz crackers and grated Parmesan cheese. Evenly spread half of this mixture over the bottom of the prepared pie dish to form the crust.
- Pour the onion and cheese mixture over the cracker crust. Distribute evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining crushed cracker and Parmesan mixture over the filling as a topping. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a twist, you can add cooked bacon or other vegetables to the filling.
- Make sure to let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing for easier serving.
