German onion pie
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. This traditional German onion pie will easily become the highlight of your holiday table, as it looks absolutely stunning when sliced! I recommend serving this pie sprinkled with grated cheese. In Germany, onion pie is usually prepared for the New Wine festival. This pie is very hearty and tasty, with a pleasant aroma of mushrooms and onions. It's very easy to make, so be sure to give it a try. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

6. Evenly distribute the onions and pour in the filling (gently tap the pan on the table to help the mixture fill the spaces between the onions and mushrooms). Next, use the remaining dough to form a lid for the pie and carefully seal the edges. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes.
