Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • premade pie dough (top and bottom crusts)
  • 5 large yellow onions sliced (enough to fill the pie plate once cooked)
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3/4 cup of milk
  • 3/4 cup grated sharp cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instruction

  • Prepare pastry and line a 9 inch pie plate. Reserve pastry for the top.
  • Place one tablespoon of butter in a frying pan and sautee the onions for 15-20 minutes until tender. Let onions cool and remove any extra liquid.
  • Place the onions into the pie plate.
  • Prepare the white sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour and mix together.
  • Mix in the milk slowly, combining until there are no lumps.
  • Heat the liquid until it's thickened. Stir in the cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the cheese sauce over the onions in the dish evenly.
  • Place the top pie crust on top, pinch seams to seal and cut vents for steam.
  • Bake at 450 degrees on the bottom rack in your oven for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to 350 and cook another 35 minutes, until the pie is nicely browned and the filling is set..
