Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheese (such as Gruyere or Swiss)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Pinch of nutmeg
• Chopped fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle sugar over the onions halfway through cooking to enhance caramelization.
3. While the onions are cooking, roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
5. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the onions.
6. Pour the egg mixture over the onions and cheese, making sure it covers the filling evenly.
7. Bake the quiche in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs, if desired.
9. Serve the onion quiche hot or cold. It can be enjoyed as a main dish for lunch or dinner, or as a delicious brunch option.
10. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
