Soft and Airy: Savory Pie with Onions and Eggs 0 13

This pie can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner alongside a salad, or as a quick snack. It is suitable when guests are already at the door, or if you don't want to deal with yeast dough and fried pastries.

Ingredients

For the dough:

• Chicken eggs – 3 pcs.
• Wheat flour – 250 g
• Kefir – 250 ml
• Sour cream 20% – 150 g
• Baking powder – 15 g
• Salt – ½ tsp.
• Butter – 20 g

For the filling:

• Green onions – 250 g
• Chicken eggs – 4 pcs.
• Sour cream 20% – 1 tbsp.
• Salt – ½ tsp.

For greasing the pie:

• Chicken yolk – 1 pc.
• Sour cream 20% – 1 tbsp.

Preparation

1. Boil 4 eggs hard and chop them coarsely. Chop the green onions coarsely.
2. In a bowl, combine the eggs, onions, 1 tbsp. of sour cream, and ½ tsp. of salt, and mix well.
3. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
4. In a deep bowl, whisk or mix 3 eggs, ½ tsp. of salt, 150 g of sour cream, and kefir. Add the sifted flour and baking powder, and mix well until smooth.
5. Line the baking dish with parchment paper and grease the bottom and sides with butter.
6. Pour half of the batter into the dish and level it. Spread the filling on top, leaving 1 cm from the edge. Pour the remaining batter over and carefully level the surface.
7. Mix the yolk and 1 tbsp. of sour cream, and brush the top of the pie.
8. Bake for 50–55 minutes at 180°C. Check for readiness with a wooden stick – it should come out dry.
9. Serve with sour cream or sour cream sauce.

Tips

1. Add the baking powder last, otherwise the dough will not rise well.
2. For a richer flavor, use sour cream and kefir with higher fat content.
3. Butter for the dish can be replaced with vegetable oil.
4. You can add fresh herbs to the green onions: dill, parsley, spinach.
5. If the top of the pie browns too much, cover it with foil and continue baking.
6. For serving, you can prepare a sauce: finely chopped herbs + low-fat sour cream, seasoned to taste. Sour cream can be replaced with natural or Greek yogurt.
