Stir in milk and cook over medium heat until creamy and thickened, about 20
seconds. Pour Egg Beaters in a 2-quart bowl. (If using whole eggs, whisk
until fluffy.) Add onion mixture in small amounts, stirring well after each
addition. Ladle mixture into pre-baked pastry in tart pan. Sprinkle cheese
evenly over the top. Garnish with chives.

less if using whole eggs.) Let rest 10 minutes at room temperature if
serving hot. (Quiche can be served at room temperature.) Remove collar from
tart pan and slide quiche onto a serving platter. Cut into wedges.
