Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 4 large sweet onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
3. Stir in thyme, oregano, pepper, and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
4. Line a 9-inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Spoon onion mixture into the crust.
5. Top with remaining pie crust, pressing the edges of the crusts together to seal. Cut several vents in the top crust.
