A quick and comforting crustless savory pie made with eggs, cheese, caramelized onions, and fresh herbs. Perfect for busy weeknights and fuss-free dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or 2% milk (dairy-free milk works too)
  • 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup (100 g) grated sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese
  • 1 cup caramelized onions, finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: diced cooked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, spinach

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Caramelize the onions: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and sweet-smelling.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk 5 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup flour, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly thick.
  4. Stir in 1 cup grated cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs. Mix in any optional add-ins like bacon or mushrooms if using.
  5. Fold the caramelized onions into the batter gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Lightly butter a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Pour the batter mixture in and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the pie is puffed, golden on top, and a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the custard to settle.

Notes

Caramelize onions low and slow for best flavor. Use room temperature eggs and milk to avoid lumps. Baking times may vary by oven; cover with foil if edges brown too fast. For a crisper top, broil for last 2 minutes watching carefully. Glass or ceramic pie dishes help cook evenly. The pie can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen for later use.
