This is a recipe from the area where I grew up in the area between the Black Forest in Germany and the Alsace region in France.

Ingredients:

• dry yeast
• a pinch of sugar
• 250ml warm milk
• 500g flour (I use whole wheat)
• 1 pinch salt
• 80g margarine or butter

Filling:

• 200g Creamcheese
• 2 Tblsp breadcrumbs
• 200g bacon
• 4 Tblsp oil
• 1000g onions
• salt pepper and caraway seeds

Glaze:

• 3 eggs
• 400g sour cream
• 150g shredded cheese
• 1 Tblsp minced parsley
• pepper and salt

Dice the onions and the bacon and sautee (do not brown) until well cooked (about 30min). Season with salt, pepper and carraway seeds. Set aside to cool.

Prepare a yeast dough and (after rising) press into a large baking pan (with high sides). Spread cream cheese onto dough, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top and with onion mixure. In a bowl mix glaze ingredients and spread over onions. Bake at 200C for 40min.

Serve warm with new white wine.
