Quick Onion Pie

Quick onion pie is a refined and simple dish of French cuisine that captivates with its tenderness and rich flavor. Cooked onions lose their sharpness and turn into a sweet, velvety filling complemented by the creamy texture of cheese and eggs. Historically, onion pies were popular in French rural regions where onions were used as an affordable and nutritious ingredient. The crispy buttery crust gives the pie a rich taste and perfectly contrasts with the soft filling. This dish is suitable for both a light dinner and an exquisite appetizer on a festive table. Quick preparation makes this pie an ideal choice for those who appreciate classic French flavors without long hours in the kitchen.
1
Boil 2 eggs and grate them finely. Slice the onion into half rings, pour boiling water over it to remove bitterness, mix with the grated egg, and add salt to taste.
- Chicken egg: 3 pieces
- Onion: 4 pieces

2
Chop the butter with flour, add salted ice water, quickly knead the dough and place it in a springform pan, making edges (you can use a regular one, but I recommend using parchment paper).
