Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 45 mins Ready Time: 2 hrs 5 mins


• whisk flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl; work 1/2 cup unsalted butter pieces into dry ingredients with your fingers until flour mixture looks like coarse meal. mix ice water into dough a little at a time until it just holds together. form into a ball and press dough down to form a flat disk; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c).
• roll dough out to a circle on a floured work surface and fit crust into a 9-inch pie dish; crimp the edges.
• place onion slices into a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and boil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. drain and cool onion slices; spread into bottom of pie crust and top with cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses in layers. spread egg slices over cheese. pour half-and-half over filling and sprinkle with black pepper.
• mix buttery round cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup melted butter in a bowl; sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over pie.
• bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 40 minutes.
