Sunday morning pie

Because his work schedule changes frequently, there are often weekends that Matt only has Sunday off. It's nice to be able to get up slowly on these Sunday mornings and make a fun brunch before we go to Mass at noon. One of the better recipes for brunch I've found is this quiche--it's quick, easy, tastes great, and since there are only two of us eating it, we have breakfast ready for the next few days!

Cheese and Onion Pie
Pastry for one 9-inch piecrust, well chilled
2 Tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
1 Tbsp flour
2 c cheese, shredded (I used a combination of Jack and Cheddar)
3 eggs
1 c milk
1/2 tsp salt

Place pastry in pie plate; chill. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Melt butter over medium heat. Sauté onion until tender. Spread evenly in piecrust. Chill.
In medium bowl, toss flour with cheese; sprinkle over onion in piecrust.
In same bowl, beat eggs with milk and salt; pour over shredded cheese.
Bake 10 minutes. Turn down oven to 325 degrees, and continue to bake 30 to 35 minutes longer, until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
