Pies with onion and egg are a classic dish of Russian cuisine, associated with home comfort and warmth since childhood. Their history traces back to traditional village recipes where housewives made hearty pies from simple and accessible ingredients. The soft, airy dough made with kefir and milk pairs perfectly with the delicate filling of boiled eggs and fresh green onions. Baked in the oven until golden brown, these pies make an ideal treat for tea or a wonderful addition to a main dish. The light spiciness of green onions and the rich flavor of eggs make them incredibly appetizing. These pies are good both hot and cold, perfect for a cozy family dinner or a light snack at any time of day.
