Ingredients

• 200 grams Whole wheat flour
• 100 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 600 grams Yellow onions
• 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
• 150 grams Low-fat sour cream
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly spray a 9-inch tart pan with cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, low-fat Greek yogurt, olive oil, and water. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes. Roll out the dough and press it evenly into the prepared tart pan, trimming any excess. Prick the base with a fork and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of cooking spray, and sauté the onions for 10–12 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat cream cheese, low-fat sour cream, eggs, caraway seeds, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 6

Spread the sautéed onions evenly over the dough in the tart pan. Pour the cream mixture over the onions, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Place the tart pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the crust are golden brown.

Step 8

Let the Zwiebelkuchen cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
