Sweet Onion Pie

1 1/2 cups buttery round crackers, crumbled
6 Tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups thinly sliced sweet onions
2 cloves, garlic minced
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 pinch paprika

Preheat oven to 350
In a mixing bowl, combine crackers and 4 tablespoons of the butter until well blended. Press into bottom and one inch up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form a shell. Refrigerate until needed.
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic slowly until tender, about 12 minutes. Arrange onions in cracker crust.
Beat eggs, milk, chives, and salt in a bowl until blended. Pour mixture over onions. Sprinkle with cheddar and paprika. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
Serve hot or at room temperature.

Great for brunch in place of a quiche or for dinner with salad.
