Onion Pie

We made this yummy onion pie recipe (from Joy of Cooking) with meatloaf for dinner yesterday. Here is the recipe and a bunch of pictures.

Onion Pie Recipe
Preheat oven to 450. Line a 9-inch pie pan with pie crust dough (my sister has a favorite pie crust recipe that I will post sometime), prick and chill it. Skin and slice thinly 2 1/2 lb. onions or leeks. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a heavy saucepan, add the onions. Stir and cook them over low heat until they are translucent. Cool them well. Combine and heat slowly until blended: 3 eggs, 1 cup cultured sour cream, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper, optional add herbs and/or spices as desired. Stir this mixture into the onions. Brush the bottom of the chilled pie shell with 1 slightly beaten egg white. Fill it with the slightly cooled onion mixture. (The recipe says you can put bacon or sausage on top, but we didn't do that because we were having it with meatloaf.) Bake the pie in a 450 oven 10 min. Then reduce heat to 300 and bake until the crust is light brown, about 1/2 hour.

Pie crust dough is delicious!
