With the addition of cream and / or butter, it always remains juicy and forms an unusually tasty combination with a shortbread crust.

If cooked according to the classics, then the onion is cut into half rings and fried in butter until it becomes transparent. Various spices and salt are added. Eggs and cream are beaten separately. Then it is mixed with the cooled onion. The filling is ready. A basket for her is baked until half cooked with the addition of washed and dried beans (so that the bottom does not rise). And after that they are baked with onion filling.

Russian housewives often replace cream with milk, sour cream, and cheese. BUT butter- vegetable.

If you do not like the French presentation of the dish, you can concoct the pie in your own way using different types of dough: shortbread, puff pastry, yeast, and so on. It is advisable not to make the dough liquid, since the filling itself is wet. Well, in addition to onions with eggs, you can use other vegetables: carrots, zucchini, potatoes, pumpkin. The main thing is that the onion content in the pie is high. Usually a little less than a kilogram is required - 800-900 grams.

• Carefully select the onions themselves - if at least one of them is slightly spoiled, this can affect the whole dish.
• Make sure that there are no cuts, punctures on the shell - otherwise there may be bacteria in the bulb.
• If you add a little nutmeg while stewing, the product will have a pleasant aroma.

Hello dear readers of my blog! You are looking for something amazing, but simple dish? Then I will help you prepare one delicacy from onions. Yes, from this plant. I used to think that it can only be added only to soups, side dishes or. It turns out that you can bake a delicious onion pie at any time of the year.

At first, my men did not even understand what I made it from 🙂 But now it is a great option for lunch or dinner!

Onions are vegetables with a high sugar content (even a tomato has much less sugar). In its raw form, it contains a lot essential oils with a pungent odor, and when heat treatment they evaporate. In this case, the sugar remains, giving the vegetable a sweetness.

In France, such a treat is called pizza, because it is added to the filling and other products. And in Germany, the autumn festival "Cybelemerite" is held every year, dedicated to this vegetable. Prepared from yeast or shortcrust pastry.

You can take any semi-hard cheese with a fat content of 45%. It will melt and brown perfectly and will not become a rubbery crust. Sometimes I also add potatoes when I want more softness and richer flavor. Delightful to absorb, easy to prepare. Sometimes I cook and now I have such awesome baked goods in my favorite recipes.

Unrealistically delicious onion pie with cheese according to the classic French recipe

It was this variant that won my attention for its taste and ease of preparation. Back in the 16th century, the French of the province of Lorraine baked open and closed pies.

3. Now add cold water, do not stop stirring. It should be soft and not sticky to your hands.

4. Then place it in plastic wrap and place it in the cold for at least 30 minutes.
