Kitchen know-how

Tips for Onion pie with bacon

Sauté onions slowly until soft

Let the large amount of onions fall together over medium heat without roasting them dark. This will make the filling sweetish, soft and not bitter.

Cool filling before covering

Hot onions would prematurely warm the yeast dough and the egg frosting, so let the mixture cool lukewarm and then combine with the bacon and egg glaze.

Let set briefly before cutting

The onion cake should rest for about ten minutes after baking, then the pour stabilizes and the juicy pieces can be cut more cleanly.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Replace bacon with 200 grams of roasted brown mushrooms, and let the mushrooms evaporate completely, so that the egg glaze does not become watery later.

Mix one teaspoon of lightly pressed cumin seeds into the steamed onions. It is a good addition to the sweetness of the onions and should be used sparingly.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Onion pie with bacon

Yellow onions have a balanced sweet-spicy flavour after slow steaming. Vegetable onions are milder, but often release a little more water.

The onions were still very moist or the oven was not completely preheated. Let the filling evaporate open and bake the cake on the bottom rail.

Yeast dough and steamed onions can be prepared separately for a few hours. Cover and bake only just before eating, so that the bottom does not soak.

Young Federweißer is the traditional autumn accompaniment. Alcohol-free white grape juice with mineral water offers a similarly fruity, slightly sour addition.
