1015 Surprise Casserole
Best made with Texas 1015 super-sweet onions, so-named because they are planted Oct. 15.
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup light cream (or half-and half)
3 medium 1015 super-sweet onions, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups grated Swiss Cheese, divided
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup crushed saltine crackers, divided
2 tablespoons melted butter
Melt 1/4 cup butter in large skillet and saute onions until tender. Place half the onions in a 1 1/2-quart deep-dish pie pan. Sprinkle 1 cup Swiss cheese and 1/2 cup cracker crumbs over onions. Repeat layers of onions and cheese. Beat eggs with cream, salt and pepper. Pour evenly over onion mixture
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet and stir in remaining creacker crumbs. Lightly brown, then sprinkle crumbs over casserole. Bake at 350 degrees 25 minutes. Makes 6 to 8 servings. An excellent accompaniment to roast beef or ham.
Enjoy!
Hmmm, this is interesting–an onion and cheese pie. Can you get 1015s outside of Texas? I don’t remember seeing them in Tennessee.
Oh, I love onions!! We have Walla Walla Sweets out here in the west. Thanks for posting this great recipe.
You can really use any good, sweet onion. I think the recipe started out as a promotional thing for 1015’s.
