Zwiebelkuchen

Pastry for a 9" pie shell In a little oil, saute the onions until they are transparent and shiny. Set aside. Mix together the eggs, sour cream, flour, liquid smoke, salt, and pepper. Put the onions into the (unbaked) pie shell, then pour the sour-cream mixture over the top. Bake at 350F for about 40 minutes until the top is golden brown. Being a vegetarian and originally German, too, I thought I'd offer this variation of a traditional recipe from my Oma. She would have used bacon, I use a few drops of liquid smoke.
