My sis-in-law, Karen, who is from Georgia swears by this yummy pie and I have to agree it is special. Just remember to only use Vidalia onions!! I'm actually surprised she gave me the recipe, it's been her secret recipe for awhile:) She must love me, lol.

2 large vidalia onions, thinly sliced
4 eggs
1 c 2% milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I just add them to the onion mixture, and it makes a delicious and filling pie.

I've also made this recipe with a gluten-free crust. It turned out just as good as the regular crust.

I like to add a little bit of chopped bacon to this recipe. It adds a nice smoky flavor.

I've made this recipe with both yellow and white onions, and both are delicious. I think I prefer the white onions, but that's just a personal preference.

I love that this recipe can be made ahead of time. I often make it the night before and then just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover onions. I always have a few onions that are starting to go bad, and this recipe is a great way to use them up before they go to waste.

This recipe was an absolute hit with my family! The flavors of the onion and cheese were perfectly balanced, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
