lazy sunday + recipe

danacaseydesign

i wanted a quiche the other day, a gooey cheese and broccoli quiche.  coming up empty handed on the  broccoli; the only veggie available was an onion.  i had a caramelized onion quiche years ago at this quaint pie shop and bakery, and remembered how much i enjoyed it; so naturally i set out to make a caramelized onion quiche.  here it is with a pre-made gluten-free crust.  it was pretty tasty with the added gruyere cheese.   happy sunday.  xx, dana

recipe

1 onion sliced, sautéed until caramelized in olive oil

4 eggs

2 cups heavy cream or half and half

1 cup shredded gruyere

salt and pepper to taste

1 ready-made pie shell

heat oven to 425 degrees.  fill bottom of pie shell with the cheese and onions.  whisk eggs, cream, salt and pepper; pour over the cheese mixture.  place the quiche on a baking sheet to prevent spills and bake for 12-14 minutes at 425 degrees.  reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake 35-45 minutes longer.
