• Chicken Egg 3 pieces
• Kefir 10 fl oz

• Dill 0 oz
• Ground Cumin to taste
• Ground coriander to taste
• Salt to taste

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients.

Step 2

Prepare the filling. Boil 2 eggs hard, rinse them under cold water, peel, and chop into small cubes.

Step 3

Shred the cabbage. Melt 25 grams of butter in a skillet and sauté the cabbage in it for about 5 minutes, until it becomes tender.

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup of water into the skillet, cover with a lid, reduce the heat, and simmer the cabbage for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Finely chop the onion and sauté it separately in 25 grams of butter until golden brown.

Step 6

Combine the cabbage with the onions and eggs. Add the lightly crushed coriander and cumin, finely chopped dill, and mix well. Season with salt to taste.

Step 7

Prepare the dough. Melt 100 grams of butter, let it cool, and mix it with kefir and sour cream.

Step 8

Add a pinch of salt, the remaining egg, and mix well.

Step 9

Combine the flour with the baking powder, sift it into the mixture of butter and eggs, and knead the dough. It should be liquid enough to pour out of the mold. Therefore, it's better to add the flour gradually rather than all at once, achieving the desired consistency.

Step 10

Line a baking dish with parchment paper and pour half of the batter into it.

Step 11

Spread the filling on top and smooth it out.

Step 12

Pour the remaining dough over the filling. Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 355°F for 40 to 50 minutes.

Step 13

Check for doneness with a skewer — it should come out clean from the center of the pie, without any sticky batter.
