Could someone repost the recipe for onion pie? Sounds like a winner to me

You asked for it.

German Onion Pie

4 thick slices of bacon, diced (I used german smoked or 'double smoked bacon' as they call it) 2
cups peeled and chopped yellow onion (I used half yellow and half red onion) 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup
sour cream 1 tblsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
2/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper 1 9-inch pie shell, unbaked

Preheat oven to 400 degrees f

Saute bacon. Drain most of the fat from the pan. Add the onions and saute until clear. Do not brown.
Set aside to cool.

Beat the eggs and sour cream together in a medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle the flour over the top and
beat it in. Stir in the salt and pepper.

[censored] the bottom of the pie shell several times with a fork. Spread the onions and bacon over the
bottom of the pie shell. Pour the sour cream mixture over the top.

Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees f and bake for another 15 minutes or until pie is
nicely browned. Serve hot!

Modification: Add a layer of grated asiago cheese between the onion/bacon and egg layer.

German Onion Pie

Here is a Swiss version for you Jack. Got it from a Swiss pal many years ago. The German bacon goes
well here too.

EVA'S SWISS ONION PIE

Source: Eva, a Swiss friend and cow-orker

1. Cut up 1/2 lb. bacon and fry until limp.

2. Cut 2 lbs. onions into strips and fry with bacon.

3. Add 2 to 4 tbs. flour.

4. Mix 1/2 litre milk or cream (or a little less), pinch salt, 1 tsp. caraway seeds, 2 to 4 eggs and
pour into onion mix.

5. Bake in piecrust.

I had a pie shell hiding in the freezer so I made this tonight as a side for the prime rib. I used a
few extra onions, really smokey bacon, and since I was shy on the sour cream by about 1/3rd of cup,
I also added about 4.5 oz's of a sharp provalone. And a touch of nutmeg.

It sucked!

Just kidding, it was pretty darn good. I used some really smokey bacon (probably about 6ozes).
Together with the (white) onions and the sharp provalone... Burp!

Thanks Ern^H^H^HJack..
