Take the pie crust out of the fridge and let it get to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the onions. On medium heat, cook the onions until they are a light caramel color.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add to the eggs in the mixing bowl, milk, ham, cheese, minced red pepper, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Whisk with a fork until the yolks are broken and the ingredients are combined.
Roll the pie crust out and lay it on a 9" pie plate. Fit the pie crust into the pan. Using your fingers, pinch the edges to make a decorative edge, (optional)
Add the cubed bread to the pie plate and pour the egg mixture on top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the Egg mixture.
You can make this up to 24 hours ahead of time or bake soon after assembly.
Bake for 60 minutes or until the edges of the egg mixture are golden brown. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a drizzle of the hollandaise sauce. Enjoy!
How to make Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce
In a small saucepan or microwave, melt the butter.
In a blender, blend the 3 egg yolks for 2 min. Turn the blender on low and slowly drizzle the butter into the egg yolk mixture (should take about 30-60 seconds) slowly add the lemon juice and the hot water. Add the pinch of salt, pepper and cayenne pepper while blending.
If you want your hollandaise a little thinner in consistency, slowly add 1-2 Tablespoons of hot water.
