Onion pie recipe with melted cheese
Ingredients:
- flour - 2 tbsp,
- 125 g of butter or margarine,
- 6 tbsp. l. sour cream,
- 1 tsp. soda,
- 1 tsp. salt,
- onion - 5 pcs.,
- processed cheese - 2 pcs.,
- hard cheese - 100 g (optional),
- eggs - 3 pcs.,
- milk - to taste,
- sesame - to taste.
This amount of ingredients is calculated fora form approximately 30 by 20 cm. So, first we peel the onion, try to chop it not too large. If your onion is small, then you can cut it into half rings, and if it is large, then it is better to chop it into several parts and crumble. Next, pour the onion into the frying pan, add oil and start stewing. It is important to constantly monitor the process to avoid burning. To do this, you need to constantly stir the onion with a spatula until it acquires a golden color and a mind-blowing aroma. This stage of the process is very important for the future pie, otherwise, if it is not fully cooked, the onion will subsequently be hard, which is not quite appropriate in the pie, or, conversely, it can be burnt if we do not keep an eye on it. Next, grate the processed cheese. Advice: before cooking, it is better to keep the cheese in the freezer for a short time (the main thing is not to overcook it), this way it becomes harder and then easier to grate, does not fall apart. Although many curds can be grated without problems and without preliminary freezing. Then you can add hard cheese if desired. It should also be grated, add eggs, salt, for greater flavor you can add pepper, dill or other herbs. Mix everything. It is necessary for the onion to cool. Add it to the cheese, taste it, are there enough spices. Pour the pre-sifted flour into a bowl, chop the butter finely, add sour cream, soda there, you can extinguish it with vinegar, but it is not necessary. Now rub this whole mixture with your hands into small crumbs. Form a ball from this dough and send it to the refrigerator for half an hour, covering it with a towel or film. In the meantime, turn on the oven and heat it up to 180 degrees. After the allotted time, take out the ball and divide it into two unequal parts. Roll out most of the dough in accordance with the shape, taking into account the sides. The form must be thoroughly greased with butter and lightly sprinkled with flour, so that we can easily remove the pie later. Place the dough in the container. Take our onion-cheese filling and distribute it evenly over the entire dough. We roll out the second (smaller) part of the dough in the same way and place it on top of the filling. Fold the sides, pierce the top of the pie with a fork so that air can escape. Grease with milk or egg for a glossy shine, sprinkle with sesame seeds and put the pie in a preheated oven for 30 minutes. Take the pie out. In order for it to "rise", cover it with a towel and let it cool for another fifteen minutes. Well, that's it, our fragrant masterpiece is ready! Enjoy your meal!
