Virginia's recipe calls for 5 - 6 onions or 1 1/2 pounds but I don't know if they had a spectacular growing season or they are feeding these onions steroids because they were huge!! I only needed two and they were two of the small ones.
A little blind baking of the quiche crust with parchment paper lining the crust and then a layer of dried beans as weight to keep the crust level while it bakes.
The sweet onion confit goes into the bottom and then the custard mixture is ladled on top. Baked in the oven until set and voila....
...a quiche fit for Mom. Happy Southern Saturdays and Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there and especially my mom. Can you make me some of those onion straws the next time I'm home? I promise not to whine too loudly.

Well, now, that looks right delicious! Though, I have to tell you, Walla Walla Sweets is the onion to beat! They sell them from the back of trucks at the first of the season. My favorite are the big green onion version.
You and Virginia will have to battle it out, Onion vs. Onion.
That looks mouthwatering. Over here it would be the Maui onions, which I think are basically Vidalias grown on Maui, if that makes sense - same variety, different soil. I need to try Virginia's trick for keeping them longer, because dang those things go bad almost as fast as raspberries.
Your quiche looks amazing. I hope you enjoyed it thoroughly.
Happy Mother's Day to the woman who introduced you to the Vidalias and the world of food. And thanks for the wishes for the rest of us, who are learning from her through you.
My problem with the storage solution is where the heck am I going to get some panty hose???
I was thinking the same thing. Don't think I've owned a pair in a decade. Would have to purchase specifically for the onions. In my case it might be worth it since Maui onions are available pretty much year-round.
Went and looked up Walla Wallas in case they were highjacked Vidalias. Turns out they were brought as seeds from from the island of Corsica. Vidalias are homegrown and not imported. They became sweet due to the low amount of sulfur in the soil in which the onions are grown.
Abby could not live there...
Cutting the cord on the Karmic Kitchen, you just don't get it. Reality TV is just what it is.

Uhhhh, OK One Owl. You're right, it is what it is but I don't have to watch it or blog it. I'm sorry you won't be coming by here anymore.
Not to worry Dani, it's all good.
