Ingredients
- 4 medium Vidalia onions
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similarly-sized casserole dish.
Step 2
Peel and slice the Vidalia onions into thin rings. You should have about 4 cups of sliced onions.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the onions to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Stir in the sour cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Step 5
Add the sautéed onions to the egg mixture and stir to coat the onions evenly. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 6
Pour the onion mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the crushed Ritz crackers over the top of the casserole to create an even layer.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cracker topping is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
