Prepare the quiche filling. Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add olive oil. When olive oil is fragrant, add the onions to the pan and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Sauté the onions for 3-5 minutes or until translucent. Add garlic to the pan and sauté the garlic with the onions for an additional 1 minute.

Bake the quiche for 20 minutes and then check to see if the pie crust is browning. If the crust is browning, cover the edges (not the middle) of the quiche with tin foil to avoid burning, and then bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked in the center.
