Zwiebelkuchen is a delicious onion pie from south-central Germany. Fall is a very special time of year here, as local winemakers will open a BasinWirtschaft in their barn or garage. They serve new wine, fresh zwiebelkuchen, and perhaps some wurst, for a minimal fee!

- 4 slices bacon

Stir in sour cream. Beat eggs enough to break up yolks, then mix in to pie mixture. Add flour to thicken mixture (onions will create a lot of water), then add salt. Mix well and pour mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle top with caraway seed.
