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

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.

This rhubarb olive oil cake is wonderfully moist, tart, and tangy—with just the right amount of sweetness. It will keep well for several days after it's baked.
Best No-Bake Cheesecake
This is an amazing recipe for no-bake cheesecake with whipping cream and cream cheese that I just threw together one day — no oven, no eggs. Everyone loves it so much, that it doesn't last long! Top with your favorite canned or fresh fruit.
Quick Baked Chicken Parmesan
This baked chicken Parmesan is a lighter version of the traditional chicken Parmesan as I skip the pan-frying in oil and instead bake breaded chicken breasts in the oven, then top with sauce and cheese. My family's not big on lots of sauce and cheese, so I just use a little to flavor the dish. Feel free to add more if you like, but it's excellent as-is. Serve chicken over pasta with additional sauce.
