Ingredients:

  • pastry for 1-crust pie, prepared
  • 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 medium sweet onions, cut into rings

Fit a 9-inch pie plate with prepared pastry; flute edge. Heat oven to 350°. Layer half of the shredded cheese over bottom of pastry. Spread half of the onion rings over cheese. Cover onion rings with remaining shredded cheese. Cut ham slices into 1 1/2-inch squares. Arrange ham slices, alternating with remaining onion rings, all around edge of pie. In a bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, and caraway seeds. Gradually add milk and eggs, beating with a whisk until smooth. Pour batter over cheese-onion filling. Bake pie at 350° for 55 to 60 minutes, or until firm and lightly browned. Garnish with parsley sprigs or minced fresh parsley, if desired.
