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 container sour cream , 16 ounce
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoons salt
0.5 teaspoons caraway seed
1 package pastry for a double crust pie , 14.1 ounce

Instructions

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

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

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

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