Description

This savory onion cake is an absolute classic and tastes simply delicious! I especially like to make it in the autumn when the onions are fresh from the field. The dough is nice and fluffy and the topping of onions, bacon and a creamy custard is simply irresistible. It is always well received by me, whether for brunch, as a snack or as a main course. It can also be prepared well in advance and tastes good both warm and cold. A great recipe for those who like it hearty!
