Onion pie is as simple as it sounds. This frittata-like dish combines eggs, onions, breadcrumbs and cheese. It's a delicious choice for any meal.

Ingredients

6 to 8 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons canola oil
6 large eggs
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley

Directions

In a large skillet, saute onions in oil until soft but not browned; drain well. In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Stir in the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley and onions.
Place in a greased 10-in. pie plate. Bake at 350° until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes.

My grandmother and mother always make onion pie during the holidays, but it's good any time. This is a savory side dish that you can serve with almost any meat or main course. It's especially good with roast beef. —Mary West, Marstons Mills, Massachusetts
