German Onion Pie (Zwiebelkuchen)

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make German Onion Pie (Zwiebelkuchen).

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 425°F (220°C).

2. Step 2

   Grab a 15x10-inch pan or a large pizza pan and line it with pie crust, making sure the dough climbs up the sides for a sturdy base.

3. Step 3

   In a skillet, gently sauté sliced onions over medium heat until they turn translucent and fragrant, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

4. Step 4

   In the same skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it’s perfectly browned and crispy.

5. Step 5

   Once done, drain the bacon, chop it into bite-sized pieces, and add it to the bowl with the onions, mixing them together harmoniously.

6. Step 6

   Next, stir in sour cream until the mixture is creamy and well-blended.

7. Step 7

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs just enough to break the yolks, then fold them into the onion and bacon blend.

8. Step 8

   To thicken the filling, sprinkle in some flour, as the onions will release moisture while baking.

9. Step 9

   Season generously with salt and mix thoroughly before pouring this savory filling into your prepared crust.

10. Step 10

    For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle caraway seeds on top of the pie.

11. Step 11

    Slide your creation into the preheated oven and bake for about an hour, or until the top is a beautiful golden brown and the filling is set, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
