Ingredients:

  • 3 to 4 medium Vidalia onions
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons butter
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • chilled unbaked pie shell for 2-crust pie
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped ham
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup shredded cheese (your favorite)
  • 3 egg yolks plus 1 whole egg
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • dash of nutmeg

Preparation:

Halve the onions and slice thinly. Sauté in butter until tender. Add ham, then salt and pepper to taste; spread in chilled pie crust. Sprinkle the onion mixture with shredded cheese. Whisk together the egg yolk, whole egg, and cream then pour over the onion mixture. Sprinkle with nutmeg then roll out the remaining chilled pastry and fit it over the filling as a top crust. Cut a 1/2-inch hole in the center of the pastry. Bake the pie at 450° for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350° and continue baking until the custard is set and the crust is browned, about 30 minutes. Serve warm or cool.
