French Onion Pie Recipe

The trick to this easy onion pie recipe just like in lots of onion recipes is to make sure you caramelize the onions - this requires slow cooking. I usually put the burner on just above low and clean up the kitchen as the onions are cooking so I can watch them.

Tarte à l'oignon

• 1 pie shell, unbaked
• 1 pound of onions, chopped
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• salt and pepper

Beat the eggs in a bowl, adding nutmeg and salt and pepper. Stir in the onion mixture and pour the resulting mixture into the pie shell. Bake at 400° F for 25 minutes.
