Sweet Onion Pie

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups buttery round crackers, crumbled
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 cups thinly sliced sweet onions
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 pinch paprika
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Combine crackers and 4 tablespoons of butter in a mixing bowl until well blended. Press into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of an 8-inch pie plate to form a crust. Refrigerate until needed.
3. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic slowly until tender, about 12 minutes; spoon into prepared crust.
4. Beat eggs, whole milk, chives, and salt in a bowl until blended; pour over the onions and sprinkle with cheese and paprika.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Garnish with parsley and serve hot or at room temperature.
