Ingredients

1 ¼ of cup flour
½ Tbsp. of sugar
¼ Tsp. of salt
8 Tbsp. of butter for the crust
3 Tbsp. of iced water
3 Tbsp. of butter to sauté the onions
4 cups of Vidalia onions sliced
3 sprigs of fresh thyme
3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese grated and divided
3 eggs lightly beaten
½ cup of heavy cream
Sea salt

Instructions

Combine the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse 2-3 times.
Add 8 tablespoons of butter and pulse a few times, add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and continue pulsing until the dough is formed.
Make a disk with the dough, cover it with plastic film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
Extend the dough with a dusted roller on a floured surface, until it is ¼ inch thick.
Carefully place the dough on the quiche dish, trim the edges decorating it with your fingers.
Line the quiche shell with parchment paper and place pie weights on top.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Transfer the pie shell to a wire rack; take a away the parchment paper and pie weights, and let cool down completely.
While the crust is the oven, preheat a deep pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and sauté the onions with the thyme sprigs, for about 12-15 minutes, until wilted. Let cool down completely.
Combine the eggs and heavy cream, and whisk in a bowl.
Add half of the Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper. Reserve.
Cover the bottom of the cold crust with the rest of the Parmesan cheese.
Distribute the onions on the crust, evenly.
Pour the egg and cream mixture on the crust.
Bake at 350˚F for 20 minutes until the quiche is golden.
Let cool down at least 10 minute before slicing and serving.
