Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C) Set pie shell on baking sheet. Prepare as per package directions for a baked shell. Remove from oven, set aside to cool. Lower oven temperature to 350 °F (180 °C).

Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and pinch of salt. Stir frequently, reducing heat if needed until onions are golden, 7 to 10 min. Add arugula; stir just until wilted, about 1 min. Set aside to cool; stir in brie.

In a medium bowl, whisk cream with eggs, add salt and pepper. Scatter onion mixture in cooled pie shell. Slowly pour egg mixture over top, distributing ingredients as best you can. Bake 30 to 35 min in preheated oven until eggs are set and tart golden. Serve in wedges.

Tips

If making a homemade pie crust, make sure to partially bake it ahead of filling.

Substitute baby spinach for the arugula.
