Combine the salt, pepper, Tabasco, mustard, eggs and sour cream in a medium size bowl; mix well.
Stir in the onions.
Pour the mixture into the pastry shell; top with the grated cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 325\u00b0 and bake until the filling is set and the top is golden brown, about 20 minutes more.
