Deliciously creamy and naturally gluten free.
Servings: 8 slices
Calories: 232kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 medium yellow onions thinly sliced
- 6 eggs
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or ½ teaspoon fresh
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
Optional Toppings
- arugula
- sour cream watered down with 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add onions.
- Heat oven to 350°F. Spray pie dish with non stick spray. Set aside.
- Caramelize onions by stirring every few minutes. If they start burning, turn down the heat and stir more often. Keep cooking until soft and golden. About 20 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, spices, ½ the cheese and heavy cream.
- Place onions in the bottom of the pie dish. Pour egg mixture on top.
- Add remaining cheese around the outer edge of the pie dish. If you put it in the middle, it'll keep the quiche from rising in the center.
- Bake on center rack for 30-35 minutes or until center is just set.
- Allow to cool 5 minutes, then dish and serve. Top it off with fresh arugula and watered down sour cream (so it drizzles, rather than dollops).
Notes
Great for lunch or dinner too!
