Ingredients:
- 2 large onions
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Onions: Begin by finely chopping the onions. In a medium-sized frying pan, melt the butter and margarine over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté them slowly, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Take care not to let the onions brown; you want them to be tender and fragrant.
-
Prepare the Base: While the onions are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open a can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Arrange them in a single layer in an ungreased 8-inch cake pan, pressing them gently to fit the bottom of the pan.
-
Layer the Onion Mixture: Once the onions are sautéed, evenly distribute them over the biscuit base in the pan. The onions should cover the biscuits in a generous layer.
-
Make the Topping: In a small bowl, beat the egg slightly with a fork. Stir in the sour cream and salt until well combined. Carefully spoon this mixture over the onions, spreading it out evenly with the back of the spoon.
-
Add the Final Touch: Sprinkle the top with poppy seeds for a bit of texture and flavor contrast.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. The kuchen is done when the topping is set and lightly golden.
-
Serve Warm: Once baked, allow the kuchen to cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm to enjoy the full, comforting flavors.
