Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Heat a 10–inch cast–iron skillet in oven.
- Trim roots from onions; discard roots. Chop half of the onions.
- Whisk together eggs and milk.
- Sift together flour and next 3 ingredients.
- Gradually add flour mixture to egg mixture, whisking rapidly 20–30 seconds or just until blended and smooth. (There should be no lumps.)
- Stir in chopped onions. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove hot skillet from oven.
- Add butter, and let stand until butter is melted.
- Place skillet over medium–high heat (stove top), and pour batter into skillet.
- Arrange cheese and remaining whole onions over top of batter, and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute or until edges begin to set.
- Transfer skillet to top oven rack, and bake at 400 degrees for 22–25 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. (Outside edges should be crispy and inside texture should resemble a custard popover. Pie will deflate quickly.)
- Serve immediately.
