Loaded with sweet onions, this creamy pie makes a scrumptious addition to the brunch buffet. By using less butter to cook the onions and substituting lighter ingredients, I cut calories and fat from the tasty dish. —Barbara Reese, Catawissa, Pennsylvania

- 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust (9 inches)
- 1 cup egg substitute
- 1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

- In a large nonstick skillet, cook onions in butter over medium-low heat until very tender, 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil.
- Bake crust 6 minutes. Remove foil; cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 425°.
