List of Ingredients
Pie Crust:
For 2 uncovered pies or a top and bottom for one pie
3 cups flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 and 1/2 cups butter
1/2 cup cold water
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon vinegar Recipe
Combine sifted flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Cut the butter into the mix with a pastry blender until the consistency is fairly coarse, with lumps the size of peas. Stir and work in the egg, water and vinegar and roll the dough out on a floured board. Line the pie pan with dough, flute the edges and pour in the filling and then bake. This pie calls for only a bottom crust, so you can save the extra dough in the freezer or make two pies.

To prepare the filling for one pie use the following ingredients:
Filling:
1/4 cup bleu cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon butter
6 large onions, peeled and thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup heavy cream
4 whole eggs
Preheat the oven to 400F. Heat the butter in a large frying pan and saute the onions until soft, about 10 to 15 minutes over a low heat. Salt and pepper the onions to your taste, then turn off the heat and sprinkle on the flour. Add the cream and stir well, blending all the ingredients. Add eggs, one at a time, while stirring and when thoroughly mixed, pour into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the crumbled bleu cheese on top and place into the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is nicely browned, but not burnt. Let cool and serve with a salad and some crisp white wine.
