Yield 1 9 inch deep dish pie, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup vegetable shortening, cold and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup cold water
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
2 lbs vidalia onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • CRUST.
  • All ingredients should be cold. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add shortening and butter. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening and butter until the mixture resembles course meal.
  • Drop by drop, add the cold water. Mix in with the fingertips, not with the hands as the palms will warm the dough. Continue mixing water in until the dough begins to hold together without being sticky but not crumbly.
  • Place dough in plastic wrap. Fold over plastic wrap and press down to form a disk. This will make rolling out easier after chilling. Finish wrapping in plastic and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  • Lightly spray a deep 9-inch pie pan or 8-1/2 fluted flan pan with vegetable cooking spray. Roll out dough and place in pie plate. Brush egg wash on the inside of pie crust. Return to refrigerator until filling is ready. Makes pastry for 9-inch single-crust pie.
  • FILLING.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and saute until translucent. Do not brown. Combine eggs, sour cream, and flour. Add to onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper and pour into chilled pie crust. [Cook briefly until thick.] Top with grated cheeses.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until center is set.

I'm not sure if I'll make this pie again. It was a lot of work and it didn't turn out as good as I hoped.

I'm going to try making this pie again, but I'll make a few changes to the recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The crust was too soggy and the filling was too runny.

This pie is a little time-consuming to make, but it's worth it. It's so delicious!

I'm going to try making this pie with different types of cheese next time. I think it would be good with cheddar or mozzarella.

I love that this recipe uses Gruyère cheese. It adds a really nice flavor to the pie.

This pie is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the day before and then just reheat it when you're ready to serve.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The onions are so sweet and the crust is so buttery. I highly recommend it!

This Vidalia onion pie was a hit! The onions were perfectly caramelized and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I loved the addition of the Gruyère cheese, it added a nice sharp flavor.
