This is PERFECT for when you're on a tight budget. It's gorgeous, it's filling and the smell drives all your workmates crazy!

TEXAS SWEET ONION PIE by Linda Sue

2 T. butter
1 large onion, sliced thin
1 cup heavy cream

Sauté the onion in butter until tender and slightly caramelised.

Place the cheese in a greased pie plate; top with onions.

Beat eggs, cream and seasonings. Pour over all.

Bake at 350º for 40 minutes until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
