• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 2  medium yellow onions, diced
• 3⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1  cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 4  eggs
• 3⁄4 cup half-and-half
• 8  ounces gruyere, grated
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1  frozen  pie crust, in tin

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375°F
2. In a large skillet, over medium-low heat, heat the oil. Add the onions, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cover and cook until the onions are softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the parsley and cook, covered, for 2 minutes more.
3. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half. Stir in the Gruyère, nutmeg, the remaining salt and pepper, and the onion mixture.
4. Place the piecrust on a foil-lined baking sheet. Scrape the egg mixture into the piecrust; it will be very full. Bake until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.
