The cooking-focused social media page @edamskaisti has shared a recipe for a hearty yet easy-to-make onion and cheese pie that works well as a meal at almost any time of day.
Ingredients Needed
For a 28-centimeter baking dish, you'll need one package of puff pastry (a yeast-free version works fine), 4-5 medium onions, 4 eggs, about 150 grams of hard cheese, 70-100 grams of feta cheese, a bunch of green onions, and pepper or other herb seasonings to taste.
Preparation Steps
First, the onions are chopped and sautéed in olive oil in a pan until golden and translucent, which takes roughly 10-15 minutes. While the onions cook, the puff pastry is thawed, rolled out slightly, and placed into the baking dish. It's smoothed out, pricked with a fork, and pre-baked at 175 degrees for a couple of minutes so it rises slightly. The base is then removed and left to cool.
In a bowl, the eggs are whisked together with the hard cheese, feta, chopped green onions, and seasonings. Once the caramelized onions have cooled, they are folded into the egg mixture. The filling is poured over the pastry base and baked at 175 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until it looks fully set.
Tips
The filling can be varied, for example by adding small pieces of meat. If feta cheese is used, additional salt is generally not needed since the cheese is already salty enough.
