  5. In a large bowl, mix eggs, sour cream, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, hot sauce, and salt and pepper. Once onions have cooled, add to this mixture and combine well.
  6. Divide onions and liquid between the two pies evenly. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of each pie, should be ¼ cup for each.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  8. Lower temperature to 350º F and bake for another 30-40 minutes, or until light browned on top.
