Sweet Savings
The last couple of weeks I have been getting the most gorgeous Vidalia onions you have ever seen from our local farmer’s market. They are huge the size of large grapefruits and they have only been charging three for a dollar. You can find these same Vidalia’s in our local supermarket chains but at 99 cents a pound they are almost a dollar a piece. These days it is almost crazy to by your produce anywhere else.

We appreciate your still buying our Vidalias. Produce has indeed gotten very expensive. Our farmers are unfortunately feeling the fuel hikes first-hand, and fertilizer, labor, everything has gone up as a result. We appreciate you hanging in there with us!! Check out VidaliaOnion.org--I just uploaded the winning recipes from from this year's Vidalia Onion Festival Cook-off. Take care! W. Brannen, Exec. Dir. Vidalia Onion Committee
Thank you, Wendy
I am all for supporting the farmers and look very forward to trying the winning recipes from the Vidalia Onion Cook-off.
That's a wonderful easy crust. I also love onion quiche, but never want to make the crust. I'll remember the cracker and butter trick.
Thanks Renae the cracker crust is quite easy plus you can use different flavored crackers to give recipes a brand new taste.
I adore Vidalia onins and am awaiting their appearance in Ontario stores!
So do I Lidian, the have such a great flavor.
Fabulous recipe for onion quiche Julie, great idea for the crust too!
Thank you, Nic
Great recipe!
FRying the onions beforehand is the key. I personally fry them in a mixture of olive oil and butter and will use the "juices" into the quiche. Instead of milk, I use fresh cream. Sorry, I'm French and I love my calories!
Cheers,

Thank you, Robert
This sounds great! So simple but it must smell and look so wonderful. I've seen pics of various onion quiches and pies and I'm looking forward to giving this one a go. I agree the crumb crust is a great option.
Thank you, Sandra
