Heat the oven to 350. Mix cracker crumbs and the melted butter and press into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie pan. Bake for 5 minutes.

Melt 2 T of butter in a skillet and sauté the onion until it turns soft and golden. Spread the onions on top of the crust.

Slowly add the milk to the eggs (don't curdle the eggs), then add a dash of salt and pepper and the cheese. Mix well. Pour the egg mixture over the onions and bake until the filling is set - 35 to 40 minutes. Rest the torta 5 minutes before serving.
