Sweet Onion Quiche: Zwiebelkuchen Recipe

Prepare the crust:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Roll out pie dough and fit inside quiche pan (a pie pan will also work well) and using the tines of a fork poke holes in it or dock it.
3. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of dough. Add pie weights or dry beans and blind bake for about 10 minutes and remove promptly.
4. Once cooled slightly remove the pie weights or beans and parchment paper.

Prepare the filling:

2. In a large bowl whisk eggs with sour cream and half and half. Add the onions and mix well.
3. Pour egg mixture into crust.
4. Bake for about 20 minutes in the middle of the oven. Test for doneness with a toothpick or cake tester.
5. Turn oven to broil and allow quiche to broil for about 2 minutes or just until the top starts to brown.
6. Serve hot.
