Quesadilla Me!

Since I know my grandmom likes quesadillas, I decided to try a quesadilla pie tonight. We had a salad with it, very simple dinner, very tasty.

Quesadilla Pie
Crust for 2-crust 9" pie
1 c. chopped onion
1 tbsp. butter
1 chopped tomato
4 oz. can sliced olives
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 eggs
2-3 drops hot sauce
4 oz. shredded Monterey Jack
4 oz. shredded Cheddar
Sour cream
Salsa (I am partial to Newman's Own)
Put crust in pie plate. Put oven rack in lowest position and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook onions in butter until tender. Add tomato, olives, seasonings. Beat eggs with hot sauce. Reserve 2 teaspoons of egg mixture. Add 1/2 cup of each cheese to eggs. Put rest of cheese in bottom of pie crust. Spoon onion mixture in. Pour egg mixture over and spread evenly. Put on top crust and seal. Vent the crust (it's fun to do this with mini cookie cutters). Brush with reserved egg mixture. Bake 45-55 minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting. Serve with sour cream and salsa. (I think some green chiles would be good in this, too, just a little can)
