Here are a couple. *I've not tried the first one from allrecipes.com but
I've made the 2nd recipe and it is very tasty.

German Zwiebelkuchen (Onion Pie) SUBMITTED BY: Bill Whitford * * *
"Zwiebelkuchen is an onion pie from Swabia, in south-central Germany. It
is a special time of year, in the fall, when the mom & pop winemakers
will open a BasinWirtschaft in their barn or garage. They serve the new
wine, fresh zwiebelkuchen, and perhaps some wurst, for a minimal fee. A
few tables are set up, and they are open when they have time to serve. To
indicate they are serving, they will hang a straw broom over the doorway.
The combination of the onions and the 'green' wine can have explosive
consequences later on!"

1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
4 egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed

Sorry, I don't have any particular recipe at hand, but you might want to
search for 'onion tart' instead. That might be helful.
