Sweet Vidalia Onion Pie
1 1/2 cups of Ritz-style crackers, crushed
1/3 cup of melted butter
2 tablespoons of butter
2 cups of sweet onions, sliced
2 eggs
3/4 cup of half and half
3/4 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of ground white pepper
1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
Crush the crackers and mix them in a medium bowl with 1/3 cup of melted butter. Firmly press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and set it aside for the pie crust.
Next, place a medium skillet on the burner over medium heat. Melt two tablepsoons of butter and saute the onions until they are translucent and tender, however do not brown then. Spread the onions into the prepared pie crust.
Place the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them. Then add the half-and-half, salt and white pepper and whish again. Pour this mixture over the onions and then sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
Put the pie pan into the oven and bake for at least 30 minutes or until the center is set. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving it.
