Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large yellow onions
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 150 grams mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 whole egg wash (egg + 1 tablespoon water)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg to the mixture and mix gently. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together but is not sticky.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the onions thinly and add them to the skillet. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, crumble the feta cheese and grate the mozzarella. Mix the cheeses together with the caramelized onions, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large circle about 0.5 cm thick.
Grease a 9-inch pie tin and carefully transfer the dough into the tin, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.
Fill the pie crust with the cheese and onion mixture, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the excess dough and use it to create a lattice or cover for the pie. Seal the edges and trim the crust as needed.
Brush the top of the pie with egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Kalasouna Cheese and Onion Pie!
