ONION QUICHE OR GRATIN (ADAPTED FROM JULIA CHILD)
I usually simplify Julia's recipes and omit some of the details, including using less fat, and they come out fabulous! I don't remember if I ever made this, but am posting it for safekeeping. For the quiche, use a pastry shell crust. For the gratin, omit the pastry crust. The cook time does not include time for baking the pastry shell.

Tips:
- For the perfect quiche crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will help to create a flaky, golden crust.
- If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a pie plate instead. Just be sure to trim the edges of the crust so that it fits snugly in the pan.
- Blind-baking the crust before adding the filling will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Use high-quality ingredients for the filling, such as fresh eggs, heavy cream, and flavorful cheeses.
- Don't overcook the quiche. It should be set in the center, but still have a slight jiggle to it.
