Onion Pie

Onion Pie is a love letter to layered flavor and crispy indulgence. Built on an ultra-thin, tavern-style crust, this pie starts with a rich, velvety Sauce Soubise, followed by a blanket of Bacio® Whole Milk Cheese. It’s topped with sweet caramelized onions, shaved red onion, and smoky bacon—then finished with crispy fried onions, green onions, and a post-bake drizzle of honey for a perfect sweet-savory balance. Every bite is crispy, creamy, and irresistibly bold.
