Sage Onion Quiche

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 35 min. + standing YIELD: 6-8 servings.
I reach for this recipe often because it’s so versatile—you can serve it for brunch, as a side dish or as a meatless entree. The fresh sage adds great flavor to the onions.

Ingredients

  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  • 1. In a large skillet, saute onions in butter until tender; drain. Stir in sage and thyme. Spoon into pastry shell. Sprinkle with cheese. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour over cheese.
  • 2. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.
    Freeze option: Securely wrap and freeze cooled quiche in plastic wrap and foil. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Unwrap quiche; reheat in oven until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°.
