ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, diced
- 3⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 4 eggs
- 3⁄4 cup half-and-half
- 8 ounces gruyere, grated
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 frozen pie crust, in tin
directions
- Heat oven to 375°F
- In a large skillet, over medium-low heat, heat the oil. Add the onions, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cover and cook until the onions are softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the parsley and cook, covered, for 2 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half. Stir in the Gruyère, nutmeg, the remaining salt and pepper, and the onion mixture.
- Place the piecrust on a foil-lined baking sheet. Scrape the egg mixture into the piecrust; it will be very full. Bake until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

This is a great recipe. The Real Simple cookbook I was following had you use a refrigerated crust, which was delicious and easy. Next time, I plan to add bacon and spinach.
