Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter or cooking spray.
  3. In a 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Arrange half of the cooked onions evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle half of the crumbled bacon over the onions.
  5. Top with the remaining onions and the rest of the bacon.
  6. In a blender container, combine milk, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, and Bisquick baking mix.
  7. Cover and blend on high speed for 15 seconds until smooth and well combined.
  8. Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the onion and bacon layers in the pie plate.
  9. In a small bowl, mix the dried savory, basil, and parsley leaves. Crush slightly between your fingers to release oils.
  10. Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the top of the pie.
  11. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  12. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
