Main dish I created for my annual Easter brunch. Everyone really enjoyed it. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon white sugar |
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces |
2 tablespoons ice water, or as needed |
1 large yellow onion, sliced |
1 (8 ounce) package shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced |
1/2 cup half-and-half |
freshly ground black pepper to taste |
3/4 cup finely crushed buttery round crackers |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
Directions:
1. Whisk flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl; work 1/2 cup unsalted butter pieces into dry ingredients with your fingers until flour mixture looks like coarse meal. Mix ice water into dough a little at a time until it just holds together. Form into a ball and press dough down to form a flat disk; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Roll dough out to a circle on a floured work surface and fit crust into a 9-inch pie dish; crimp the edges.
4. Place onion slices into a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and boil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool onion slices; spread into bottom of pie crust and top with Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses in layers. Spread egg slices over cheese. Pour half-and-half over filling and sprinkle with black pepper.
5. Mix buttery round cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup melted butter in a bowl; sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over pie.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 40 minutes.
