Recipe of Onion Pie

Vida Recetas Editorial

Onion pie, known in German as Zwiebelkuchen, is a classic recipe of German cuisine that conquers with its balance between sweet and savory. This savory pie combines a buttery shortcrust base with a filling of slowly caramelized onions, crispy bacon, and a creamy mixture of eggs and sour cream. The result is a comforting dish, ideal for autumn, but enjoyed all year round.

Its origins date back to the wine regions of Germany, where it was served as an accompaniment to new wine. Today, it is perfect as a light main course, accompanied by a green salad, or as part of a brunch. The texture is soft inside, with a golden and crispy exterior.

There are variations that add caraway seeds or paprika, but this traditional version highlights the pure flavor of onion and bacon. If you are looking for a savory pie recipe that impresses your guests without complications, this is an excellent option. Its preparation is simple and the ingredients are easy to find.
