Ingredients

• onion - 4-6 pcs;
• eggs - 4 pcs;
• melted cheese - 4 pcs;
• salt, ground pepper - to taste;
• dill, parsley - to taste and desire;
• vegetable oil - for frying.

Cooking

1. For the filling you will need onions, take four large onions or six pieces of medium size.

2. Cut the onion into half rings as thin as possible. Immediately on the board we separate it into strips.

3. Onions must be fried. We heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan, pass the onion over low heat until transparent. Add salt and pepper to taste.

4. You will also need four processed cheeses. Curds should be creamy without any flavors.

5. Grind the curds on a coarse grater.

6. We shift the finished onion into a deep bowl.

7. Immediately, while the onion is still hot, add the chopped curds to the bowl.

8. Using a wooden or silicone spatula, mix the products until smooth. It turns out a homogeneous mass. At this time, the filling should be tasted for salt and pepper, if necessary, add spices. Set aside the bowl to cool down to room temperature.

9. Drive four eggs into a separate bowl, salt and pepper.

10. Beat the eggs simply with a fork, there is no need to beat into foam. Finely chop the parsley. Also, dill greens are perfect for the filling.

11. Add greens to the egg mass, mix.

12. Add the egg mass to the cooled curds.

13. Mix into a homogeneous mass. Since the mass now contains raw eggs, it is not advisable to taste it. Therefore, we recommend doing this before combining cheese curds with raw eggs.

14. We take out the dough prepared in advance from the refrigerator.

15. We take out the dough from the bag and roll it slightly into a sausage. Visually divide the dough into three equal parts, but cut off only one. One third of the part was put aside for the time being, and we continue to work with the remaining piece.

16. Sprinkle the working surface with flour and roll out the dough into a rectangular layer three to four millimeters thick.

17. You will need any form for baking. Round, with a diameter of twenty-four or twenty-six centimeters. Or, as in this example - oval, it will also be beautiful. Transfer the rolled out dough to the mold. Gently spread the dough along the bottom and sides, try not to stretch the dough, but the dough should close the sides well.

18. Carefully transfer all the filling into the mold. We evenly distribute the mass so that it fills the entire space. Set aside the form with the filling.

19. Roll out the remaining dough of the same thickness as the first layer.

20. With the prepared dough, cover the filling in contact so that there are no voids. The test should be enough for the sides. We simply press the dough against the sides with our fingers, in this way we fasten the two layers of dough together.

21. We remove excess dough from the sides, it should be level, as the dough will fall during baking.

22. By this time, the oven should already be preheated to t-170 ° C. Top-bottom mode. Bake the cake for thirty-five to forty-five minutes. Five minutes before readiness, the top of the pie can be covered with a beaten egg. You don’t have to do this, the cake turns out to be ruddy and appetizing in a homely way.

23. Snack pie with onion filling is ready. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Serve chilled or slightly warm.

24. In the context of the cake looks great too. In a homogeneous mass, the presence of onion is not even visible, since it is transparent, and processed cheese is also not visible. We achieved this thanks to the fact that still hot onions were mixed with cheese.

I recommend baking the "Snack Pie with Onions and Melted Cheese", even those who categorically do not like onions will like it. And you will definitely be asked to cook such a pie again and again.
