Hi I am a texan and I too had a great recipe for a Texas onion pie and lost it. I tried this and it tastes the same as my lost recipe. Thanks so much for posting this. Linzi
I tried this but substituted fat free 1/2n1/2 for the heavy cream. My husband absolutely loved it! He is really getting a kick out of all the new recipes I have found here. I am thankful that he will eat the things I need to eat.
I know that I will love it too, always keep onions in my kitchen—yummy—gives a kick to anything! PR
YUMMY I forgot to add stars…5 of course without even trying it yet
This sounds YUMMY…I use to have a wonderful Onion Tart recipe but lost it. Thanks for sharing this one with us.
