    This was listed with pie crust #2

    Traditionally an onion pie would be made with crumbled bacon bits, and came
    from the Alsace region of France. My interpretation leaves out the bacon,
    and replaces that flavor with blue cheese. I prefer to use a bio, or organic
    cheese made in France. The quality of most ingredients in European foods is
    far superior to those in America, and you might consider using entirely
    organic ingredients to achieve the same flavor and satisfaction anywhere you
    are.

    quiche - Blue Cheese Onion Pie

    1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
    1 tbsp butter
    6 large onions, peeled and thinly sliced
    Salt and Pepper to taste
    1 tbsp flour
    1 cup heavy cream
    4 whole eggs

    Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    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 pie crust.
    Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese on top.
    Place into the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, until
    the top is nicely browned, but not burnt!!!
    Makes 1 pie.

    Let cool and serve with a salad and some crisp white wine.
