Hello guests and blog readers. The arrival of spring in our family begins with an unusual tradition: we put onions in water, put them in the sun and wait for them to release their green feathers. And now my daughter has also matured, and this is her first real experience.
What am I talking about all this for? - you ask. Moreover, in the spring season vitamin deficiency often develops and the body always wants something, and fresh onions are not only tasty, but also healthy. And if you make a tasty dish out of it, for example, pies with boiled eggs, then depression will not set in, and you will replenish your body with vitamins.
And so that baking is as healthy as possible and low in calories, I suggest not frying, but baking the treat in the oven. Moreover, in this version there are a large variety of cooking methods, so there is room to roam.
When preparing any baked goods, remember that the main thing is the mood in which you make the dough and how much soul you put into your creation.
Egg pies - food preparation
The most important component of any pies is flour; its quality determines how soft and tasty they will turn out. To make the pies fluffy and beautiful, it must be sifted several times.
To fill the pies, you should take fresh eggs, which need to be hard-boiled and finely chopped. To make eggs easier to peel, after boiling they should be immediately placed in cold water.

Rice, dill, parsley are added to the filling, but for me everything is simple, but it turns out so tasty that it is impossible to tear yourself away.

- 50 grams of green onions
- 5 boiled eggs (I used medium size)
- 20-30 grams of butter
- salt and ground black pepper to taste

Green onions can be used fresh or frozen. I never freeze. Do you know why? Because it is available all year round, today, it is sold in the market, in stores, in supermarkets.
I washed the onion and chopped it. Everything is very simple.
I boiled the eggs hard. Homemade or store-bought, it doesn’t matter. I like homemade ones, but they are expensive now, I bought them at the store.
Advice! To diversify the taste of the filling, add boiled rice to it.
I cook for 10 minutes from the moment the water boils in a saucepan with eggs. I drain the water and fill it with cold water. Cooled, cleaned, and rubbed. You can cut it, but I prefer grated.
Take good quality butter. I always add it to the filling, it makes the filling tastier and more tender.
Advice! Instead of butter, you can add sour cream or mayonnaise. The filling should not be thick, but it should not be liquid either.
Salt and black pepper to taste. Important point! Taste it, you should like the taste. If something is not enough, add it.
Important! If you add mayonnaise or sour cream to the filling, do not add a lot, the filling should not be liquid, otherwise the dough inside will not be baked and will be raw. The filling should be thick.
Mix everything well, and the filling for pies with egg and green onions is ready.
All is ready! Now let's do the dough. Don't worry if you're not comfortable with yeast dough, everyone can do it the first time.
I have given the recipe to many friends, and no one has ever complained that it didn’t work out. And you will succeed!
Egg pies - useful tips from experienced chefs
In order not to be distracted during frying and not to miss the readiness of the pies, it is better to mold them all, and then just start frying.

Tips and tricks
- To knead the dough, use only room temperature ingredients; you can even warm the milk slightly. This is necessary so that the yeast is activated and the reaction begins.
- The recipe for this dough is more suitable for pies with a salty filling. For sweet pies, add a little more sugar to the dough. But even here you shouldn’t overdo it so that the dough rises.
- For any dough, the flour must be sifted, this way it is enriched with oxygen and you get a good, airy dough.
- Milk can be replaced with warm water.
