Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cups sliced onion

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon dried sage

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 unbaked quiche crust

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper

1 cup grated Gruyere -- (packed)

3 large eggs

1 cup milk

freshly ground black pepper

 

You can prepare the sauteed vegetables (steps 1 and 2) up to several

days ahead.

 

Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and wait about 2 minutes.

Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the onion, saute for 5

minutes and then add the salt, herbs and mustard. Cover the pan, lower

the heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (During this

time, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and place the unbaked crust on

a baking tray.)

 

Stir the vinegar and bell pepper into the onions, turn the heat up to

medium and cook, uncovered, for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Sprinkle the cheese into the crust, then spoon the onion-pepper mixture

on top of the cheese.

 

Whisk together the eggs, milk and black pepper to taste and slowly pour

this over the vegetables and cheese.

 

Bake on the baking tray in the lower third of the oven for 35 to 40

minutes, or until the custard is set. Cool for at least 10 minutes

before slicing, and serve at any temperature.
