How to bake the delicious autumn classic onion pie
- For the dough: Knead the flour with the butter (it is best to cut it into pieces beforehand) and add a pinch of salt and sugar. Subsequently, the cold water is gradually mixed in. Knead the dough until it thickens, but don't overdo it – if it gets too warm, it will fall apart.
- The finished dough is wrapped in cling film and placed in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
- Then roll it out on a work surface that you have previously dusted with flour – about the size of your baking sheet.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and place the shortcrust pastry on top. Press the edges upwards.
- For the topping: Finely slice the onions and heat them with the butter in a pan until translucent.
- Now cut the bacon into cubes and add it to the pan for about five minutes as well. Then remove the pan from the heat and let the onions and bacon cool for a while.
- Mix the eggs with the sour cream and add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix everything with the cooled onion mass.
- Put the topping on top of the dough and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
- Now put the cake in the preheated oven and bake it for about 40 minutes at 200 degrees bottom/top heat.
Once the onion pie is baked until golden brown, you can remove it from the oven and let it cool. But it tastes best while it is still lukewarm.
