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!

Ingredients

  • 6 pounds onions , sliced
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 , 16 ounce
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons caraway seed
  • 1 , 14.1 ounce

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 15x10-inch pan or large pizza pan with prepared dough, making sure dough extends up sides of pan.

  2. 2

    Sauté onion in a skillet until translucent and pour cooked onion into a large mixing bowl. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, chop and add to onion; mix well.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Bake in preheated oven until onions start to turn golden brown on top, about 1 hour.
