ONION QUICHE OR GRATIN (ADAPTED FROM JULIA CHILD)

Onion Quiche or Gratin (Adapted from Julia Child) image

I usually simplify Julia's recipes and omit some of the details, including using less fat, and they come out fabulous! I don't remember if I ever made this, but am posting it for safekeeping. For the quiche, use a pastry shell crust. For the gratin, omit the pastry crust. The cook time does not include time for baking the pastry shell.
