Onion Pie is a savory pie similar to a quiche, except with added onions and gruyere cheese and a little bit lighter on the egg custard.

Onion Pie is my recipe of the day. I was asked about an onion pie and I do have a recipe available for Alsatian Quiche which is like a quiche Lorraine except it is very Parmesan forward instead of the usual Swiss cheese or Gruyere.

Onion Pie
The pie I am sharing today is probably somewhere in between an onion tart and a quiche. I left the onion thicker and used milder red onion exposed on top for more visual appeal. Rather than chopping it up and submerging the onion under custard.
This pie turned out very tasty. It is something I might like for brunch or lunch along with a light salad made with baby greens. I hope you enjoy as well. Let me know how you like it in the comments and don’t forget to grade it with a star.
