Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish by fitting the refrigerated pie crust into it.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, then add the sliced Vidalia onions and cook until soft and golden (20-25 minutes).
  3. Remove the skillet from heat and let the onions cool slightly.
  4. Whisk together 3 large eggs, ¾ cup heavy cream, and ½ cup sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Add thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. Gently fold in 1 ¼ cups of shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
  6. Carefully fold the cooled onions into the egg and cheese mixture.
  7. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until set and golden brown.
  10. Let the pie rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
