- 2 large onions diced
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/2 cup sour cream

- 1 cup shredded Gruyere
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 9- inch pie shell
Instructions
- Saute the onions with the bay leaf and thyme in the butter and oil. Season with salt and pepper and let them cook about 20 minutes until they are caramelized and golden. Remove the bay leaf and cool the onions. In a bowl whisk the eggs, half and half, sour cream and onion soup mix until well combined and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pile the onions on the bottom of the pie crust and top with egg mixture. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for about 40-45 minutes in a 350 degree oven until the center is set and it is golden brown.
It should work well, it won’t have quite the same flavor, but it will be delicious.
How would this taste if I substituted the gruyere with shredded mozzarella?
How would this be substituting the gruyere with shredded mozzarella?
You might try Pomegranate, they sometimes have hard to find cheeses.
Actually I live on NY for my whole life, and have NEVER seen it.
Hi Lisa
It is one of those harder to find kosher cheeses, but I have seen it and used to buy it regularly in the New York area. It is one of my favorites, but you can use a Swiss cheese if you can’t find it.
I have never seen a kosher gruyere, not sure it exists. Surprised to see it listed as an ingredient
Even in NY I had a hard time finding kosher gruyere. You can substitute swiss cheese and use a soft cheese with it to balance out the sharpness and make it more creamy – like Fontina and maybe Havarti would work.
Maadanot makes a nice pie crust in a roll – called batzek parich merudad, and it comes in salty and sweet varieties. Check your local supermarket freezer for a variety of frozen doughs. In a pinch, you can try malawach or puff pastry dough (batzek alim).
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
I’m new to Israel and I no longer have access to those frozen Mrs. Smith pie shells I loved to use. Do you know a good Israeli brand I can buy?
What can I use as a substitute for shredded Gruyere? I have never seen that kosher here where I live.
You can also save it to your recipe box – thanks for letting us know you liked it.
The french onion soup quiche was delicious! It’s so creamy and really does taste like onion soup. It is going in my “make again” file!
