Sometimes, the recipes I make really surprise me.
I chose this one because it seemed easy enough, and I really like cooked onions and quiche-like things both.
When I actually took my first bite of this thing, my actual thought was, “Wow. This is stunning.”
Stunning.
It’s so good, and so easy, and I don’t really know what else to say about it except make it immediately. (And if you can tell me how to make the crust not so weird-looking, that would be good, too.)
Dennis and I polished off this entire thing, save one piece I took to work for lunch the next day. I was very pleased to be able to relive the magic that next day.
You may notice that this pie doesn’t set up as high as a normal quiche would — but this isn’t a quiche, so it’s OK! There are only 2 eggs in it, so don’t be surprised by how flat it looks.
I’m not even exaggerating. This is one of those recipes that should not be as good as it is. But it is. So make it for dinner tonight. Just do it. (It’s Friday the 13th. Everyone can use a little good luck today!)
German Onion Pie (Zweibelkuchen)
Serves whatever number of slices you cut it into (If that’s just 1, I’m not here to judge)
