Comments
Years and years ago, when I still watched Food TV, I saw an episode of Food Network Specials and one of the contestants made the most delicious looking Vidalia onion pie. Recently, I got some Bermuda sweet onions from the market and recalled the recipe while trying to figure out something excited to do with the onions. This was scrumptious. It was sort of like a quiche in some ways, but it felt richer to me. The onions were melty and lovely.
