Zweibelkuchen (Onion Cake)

Let's start this off with an oldie: this is the German onion cake recipe my grandmother used to make once a year for my grandfather's birthday. I've tried it once; it was interesting, savory rather than sweet of course. (No idea what she used for a crust: but it's a sure bet that my German grandmother did NOT use a pizza dough! I used a frozen pie crust, and got something resembling a quiche.)

4 thick slices of bacon, diced
2 cups chopped yellow onions
2 well-beaten eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 package Pillsbury 10 oz. pizza crust

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Saute bacon until just clear, drain most of the fat from the pan. Add onions, saute until clear. Do not brown. Set aside to cool.
Beat eggs and sour cream together; add flour, salt and pepper and beat in.
Prepare pizza crust as directed on the package in a 10x15 inch pan. Spread onion & bacon mixture over the dough. Make sure edges are about 1/2 inch high to hold it in. Pour sour cream mixture over top.
Bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes or until cake is nicely browned. Serve hot.
