Tonight's pot luck--onion pie?

Looking through my new yard sale cookbook and the cupboards and the calendar, I see that Onion Pie might be a possibility for tonight's potluck at Juliann's house for this week's Rhein Center instructors.

The usual pie crust instructions for a one crust pie (I'll use my own). Bake 10 minutes and remember to prick the crust before baking.

"For the filling, fry 4 strips of finely diced bacon until done. Drain, and in the bacon fat cook, until they are transparent 2 large onions that have been diced very fine. Drain off fat, and mix bacon and onions with 1 egg and 1 egg yolk, previously beaten, a scant 1/2 cup sour cream, salt and pepper, some chopped chives and a sprinkling of caraway seeds. Pour into crust and bake at 350 until the filling is firm, about 20 or 25 minutes. This should be eaten warm, cut into narrow wedges that can be taken up with the hand." p. 137 "The wonderful world of cooking," (1956).
