Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 6 Yellow onions
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1.5 cups Sour cream
• 3 Eggs
• 1 tsp Caraway seeds
• 2 tbsp Butter

Steps

1. Slice the onions thin and sweat them in butter over medium-low heat for 15 minutes until completely soft and sweet — no browning. Season with salt, pepper, and caraway.
2. Render the chopped bacon until crisp and stir it into the onions. Let the mixture cool slightly.
3. Whisk the sour cream and eggs with a pinch of salt, then fold in the onion-bacon mixture.
4. Press the dough into a greased 10-inch springform or sheet pan, pushing it up the sides. Pour in the filling and smooth the top.
5. Bake at 400°F for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is set and deeply golden. Rest 10 minutes before slicing. Traditionally eaten in autumn with federweisser, the year’s new wine.
