Celery seed or basil may be substituted for dill seed.

Bake pie crust.

Preheat oven to 450. Thinly slice onions. Saute onions in butter until clear. Combine eggs, sour cream, salt, pepper, and dill over low heat to blend well. Then add to cooled onions. Pour into baked pie shell and top with crumbled bacon. Bake 10 minutes, reduce heat to 300 and bake until crust is light brown.

Sylvia's notes: I forgot to bake the pie crust, and can't tell any difference. I also missed the directions saying to saute the onions "until clear, " I browned them (took about an hour) and the extra sweetness was wonderful. I also left the dill seed out; the pie is so rich and flavorful I feared the extra spice would fight with the other flavors.
