Gorgonzola and Caramelized Purple Onion Quiche


 

IMG_4309Do you have days when life is so crazy that dinner time arrives, and there is nothing on the table. Last night was this kind of night. I had nothing planned to make. Nothing really in the fridge and yet we needed to eat dinner. So what do you do?? Well, you either order out ( something that we do not do), or find things to use in the fridge. And this is what I did. I searched,  found gorgonzola cheese and lettuce. I did not even have a pie crust so I actually made it from scratch, but you certainly can make your own.

Ingredients for 1 quiche for 6-8 people:

  • 2 large purple onion diced thinly
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 cup of gorgonzola cheese crumbled
  • 2 cups of heavy cream
  • 4 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pie crust
  1. In  a large frying pan, warm up the olive oil. When the olive oil is sizzling, add the chopped onion and saute it.
  2. When the onion is starting to become an amber color, turn the heat down to medium and keep cooking for 10 minutes until the onions are becoming a darker brown and becoming softer. Set aside.
  3. Place the pie crust inside the tart mold, or the round mold.
  4. With a fork, prick the bottom of the pie to prevent an air pocket to form at the bottom of the pie.
  5. In a large bowl, empty the caramelized onion, crumbled gorgonzola, eggs, cream and mix well.
  6. Pour this mixture into the pie crust.
  7. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes.photo 4
  8. Serve with a salad. Miam, Miam, Miam.

Bon Appetit and Happy Cooking!!!
