More About This Recipe

I grew up in Southern Germany and the onset of cool weather always meant Zwiebelkuchen, a beloved savory onion and bacon quiche/pie that can be found in bakeries there.It's something I looked forward to every year and is still one of my favorite savory baked goods. A favorite pastime is going to the Black Forest, not far from where I lived, and enjoying a slice of Schwäbischer Zwiebelkuchen at a cafe, made with delicious local bacon.There are a few varieties of Zwiebelkuchen, depending on the region of Germany. Some are flat like a pizza and cut into squares with a thin layer on top and others are more "deep dish", like this recipe. I grew up in Stuttgart, home of Porsche and Mercedes, as well as the capital of Swabia, the region of Germany where this version of Zwiebelkuchen is from. Swabia is arguably the home to the best German cuisine, and this onion and bacon pie is no exception. If you're a fan of caramelized onions and bacon, this quiche is for you! Very easy to make and quick to assemble, your home will soon be filled with an aroma so divine you'll be waiting eagerly at the oven door. And your neighbors might be dropping by unannounced, so you'd better pop two of these in the oven!This is best served warm, but it's also excellent reheated the next day!
