SWEET ONION PIE



Sweet Onion Pie image

A delicious savory pie from The Times-Picayune. Reasonably healthy when coupled with a nice salad or bag of crunchy vegies, this is a good source of economical protein that tastes great. Excellent warm & at room temp. Travels well for picnics & potlucks. I like cutting into 6 slices & wrapping each one in Saran wrap & putting back into pan for knoshing on the boat. Scattering 2 to 3 inch chives tips across the pie before baking is very pretty.
