Onion Three Cheese Pie
Onion Three Cheese Pie
This recipe was shared as part of my Quick Dinner series on Instagram. These dinners can be made with minimal ingredients, using what I keep stocked in my kitchen.
There is only so much holy trinity you can make over time with a bunch of onions given to you. When given a surplus of produce and pantry staples, I think about times when my grandparents would receive boxes from farmers and local growers looking to gift the food before it went rotten or spoiled. I often recall my grandmothers going into the kitchen and making the most simple dishes full of flavor to share with family & friends and anyone in the community who was hungry.
When feeding people with various tastebuds, the simple, flavorful dishes were always a hit! And, keeping that in mind, I put a few of the bagged onions to good use in this Onion Three Cheese Pie.
