My friend's aunt Eulala handed this recipe down to her. It has a strange name, but everyone who tries it, loves it! It's a little like a quiche, but oh! so much simpler. Thanks for sharing, Bonnie!

30 small saltine crackers
3/4 cup butter (divided)
3 cups onions, thinly sliced
1/2 lb grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups milk, scalded and cooled
3 beaten eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Make crust by crushing the crackers and adding 1/2 cup of the butter, melted. Press into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking pan.
2. Sauté the onions in the last 1/4 cup of the butter until the onions are soft and golden. Pour the onions over the crust.
3. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the onions.
