  • Preparation Time: 30 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 45 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
  • Servings: 6

Ingredients:

  • 9 Spanish onions
  • 10 tablespoons butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon dry sherry
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • Canadian bacon slices

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Onions:

    • Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
    • Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent and soft. This process may take around 20-25 minutes. Ensure the onions are cooled completely before proceeding.
  2. Prepare the Filling:

    • In a saucepan, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, dry sherry, chopped parsley, celery seed, salt, and pepper. Heat the mixture slowly until well blended.
  3. Combine Ingredients:

    • Stir the egg and sour cream mixture into the cooled onions until evenly combined.
  4. Assemble the Pie:

    • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
    • Brush the bottom of a pie shell with egg white to prevent it from becoming soggy.
    • Pour the onion filling into the pie shell, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Add Bacon Topping:

    • Arrange Canadian bacon slices evenly over the top of the onion filling, covering the surface of the pie.
  6. Bake the Pie:

    • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (230°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
    • After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the edges of the pastry are lightly browned.
  7. Serve Hot:

    • Once baked to perfection, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
    • Serve your special onion and bacon pie piping hot and enjoy the comforting flavors!
