Instructions
Step 1
Start by slicing the onions into rings. Cook them on medium heat in a skillet until they become soft and caramelized. Don’t forget to add sugar, salt, and wine vinegar during this process to enhance their natural sweetness.
Step 2
Take one sheet of the puff pastry and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Use a fork to prick the surface lightly to allow steam to escape while baking.
Step 3
Spread the sautéed onions evenly over the pastry. Add the sliced cured sausage and sprinkle the grated cheese on top to create a delicious filling.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit). Place your assembled pie in the oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Step 5
Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs and delicious mustard on the side for a delightful experience!

Equipment
This essential tool helps you roll out the pastry dough evenly. A good tip is to dust your work surface and the rolling pin with a bit of flour to prevent sticking.



For slicing the onions, using a sharp knife or a mandoline will ensure you get even slices, which will help them caramelize perfectly.
Use a sturdy baking sheet for a great base when cooking your pie. Lining it with parchment paper can make the cleanup much easier!



A fork will come in handy to poke holes in the pastry before baking, helping to prevent it from puffing up too much. Quick and easy!

Faq
- What if my pastry dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels sticky, try adding a little more flour. Keep it dusted to prevent it from sticking while rolling out.

Your onions should be golden brown and soft, and they should have a sweet aroma. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes over medium heat.

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different fillings like mushrooms, spinach, or even roasted vegetables!
- What's the best way to reheat leftovers?
The best way to enjoy leftover pie is to reheat it in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10-15 minutes to keep the pastry crispy!

Yes! You can freeze the unbaked pie by wrapping it well. Just remember to adjust the baking time when cooking from frozen!

A mix of your favorite cheeses works great! Cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère are all excellent choices for this pie.
