- Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, stirring often, or until the onions are very soft, golden brown. The timing will depend on the size of your onions and the heat of your stove.
- While onions are cooking, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In medium bowl, whisk eggs, evaporated milk, thyme, salt and pepper; set aside.5 Eggs, 12 ounces Evaporated Milk, 1/2 teaspoon Thyme, 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, 1/4 teaspoon Salt

- Pour egg mixture into pie pan. Gently give the ingredients a stir with a fork.
- Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes; cut into wedges.
Notes
- To be sure you have enough room in the pie crust for the egg mixture, use a deep dish pie plate, not a tart pan. It should be a 9-inch pie plate.
- Be sure to use a baking sheet to protect the oven in case the egg mixture creeps out of the pie crust.
- When the internal temperature is at 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer you'll know the quiche is done.
