ONION BRUNCH PIE

Onion Brunch Pie image

I found this recipe in a cookbook in a chapter called, "Recipes for Busy Days". I love quiche but hate the hassle in making a crust. This recipe solves that problem for me. I continue to make this dish for brunches and it's a favorite for our family Christmas breakfast.
