Zwiebelkuchen

Zwiebelkuchen is a savory German onion cake made of steamed onions, diced bacon, cream, and caraway seeds on either a yeast or leavened dough. It is not to be confused with Flammkuchen, a similar dish that is drier.

History

Most of Zwiebelkuchen's history is unknown, but has been mentioned as early as the 19th century and originates from Baden-Württemberg.
Zwiebelkuchen is a favored autumn dish commonly enjoyed at wine festivals. It is particularly popular in Germany's wine-producing regions, including Thuringia, Palatinate, Hessia, Franconia, Baden, Swabia, Alsace, and the Rhine and Moselle areas. People enjoy drinking "neuer Wein" with it. "Neuer Wein" is slightly fermented grape juice, before the squeezed grapes turn into proper wine to be bottled.
