Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 pinch paprika
• ¾ cup whole milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine crackers and 4 tablespoons of butter in a mixing bowl until well blended. Press into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of an 8-inch pie plate to form a crust. Refrigerate until needed.

Step 3

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic slowly until tender, about 12 minutes; spoon into prepared crust.

Step 4

Beat eggs, whole milk, chives, and salt in a bowl until blended; pour over the onions and sprinkle with cheese and paprika.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Garnish with parsley and serve hot or at room temperature.
