Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the onions
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Slice the onions thinly so they soften evenly.
Soften the onions
Warm 1 tbsp oil or butter in a pan. Cook the onions over medium heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring often, until soft; don’t let them burn.
Whisk the batter
In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Pour in the milk. Add flour, salt, caraway seeds, and pepper, then whisk until smooth.
Combine with onions
Stir the softened onions into the batter so they’re well distributed.
Fill the baking dish
Pour into a greased pie dish or medium baking dish. Level the top with a spoon.
Bake and rest
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until lightly browned and set in the center. Rest 10 minutes before slicing. That’s the onion pie—how to make it is that simple.
