I learned a version of this recipe in Home Economics Class, many years ago...I created this one, I added the addition of bacon, as bacon is good anytime. I used vadalia onions, but can use any sweet onion...so good!

How To Make ~ onion lovin brunch cake ~

Step 1

Slice onions, trying to keep all about the same thickness , a mandolin works great and is so quick. Over medium heat, in a large skillet, melt butter and add onions and pinch of thyme, can also lightly salt if you wish. Saute until lightly browned, stirring frequently.

Step 2

Sift flour, salt, onion powder and baking powder together. Cut into flour, 3 tablespoons, butter, until crumbly. Into this add 1/2 cup milk, beat with a fork, just until incorporated, about 18 strokes. Spray an 11 x 7 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread out batter evenly in bottom of dish. I lightly spray the top of batter and use an offset knife for this, whatever's easiest for you.
Step 3

Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Spread onions evenly over batter and then sprinkle with cheese.
Step 4

Mix egg and mustard with milk, beating well. Pour over onions and cheese. Top with bacon.
Step 5

Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Don't overcook. Let set up for 5 minutes, then cut into squares. Salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy this scrumptious dish.
