Aspic pie on sour cream and eggs with cabbage in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Measure and prepare all the necessary products for making a pie. You will need premium wheat flour, sour cream of any fat content, large chicken eggs, white cabbage, baking powder.

2. Step 2:

   

   My cabbage is of the winter variety, but you can also use a young one. Remove the top flaccid and darkened leaves from the head. Cut off a part of the desired size. Finely chop with a knife or chop in a food processor. Wrap the remaining cabbage, which you will not use now, in a bag and hide it in the refrigerator for storage.

3. Step 3:

   

   A little vegetable oil with a high smoking temperature is poured into the pan. Warm it up. Lay out the cabbage. Simmer it on low heat until it becomes soft. Add salt and pepper to taste. Young tender cabbage can not be stewed. One baking in the oven will be enough for her.

4. Step 4:

   

   Prepare the dough. In a small container, dilute the sour cream (100 ml) by a third with boiled water (about 1-2 tablespoons). In a bowl of suitable size, mix the diluted sour cream and eggs.

5. Step 5:

   

   Sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen, then the baking will be lush. The properties of flour may vary, so it may need more or less than indicated. Separately mix the baking powder with a small amount of flour and pour it into the sour cream mixture, so it will be better distributed over the dough. It can be replaced with baking soda (1 tsp. l.), extinguished with 9% vinegar (1 tbsp. l.). It is not necessary to mix it with flour separately. Knead it. The dough will be like thick sour cream.

7. Step 6:

   

   Which form is best to use? Any heat-resistant form will do. If you use a silicone mold, you do not need to smear it with butter or margarine. It is enough not to wipe it after it has been rinsed with water. But it is better to lightly lubricate metal, ceramic or glass dishes with vegetable oil so that the pie does not burn. You can take small portion forms (for a third of the dough) and bake three pies. Put the cabbage on the bottom of the mold first.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour the cabbage evenly with the dough. The fill should completely cover it. If the cabbage will be visible in some places, it's not scary. During the baking process, the dough will rise and cover the entire filling.

9. Step 8:

   

   Preheat the oven to 180 degrees 10-15 minutes before cooking. Bake the pie for about 20-30 minutes. Since ovens are baked differently, the time and temperature can be changed. Focus on the properties of your equipment. How to check the readiness of the pie? When the top of the baking is browned, pierce it in several places with a wooden toothpick or skewer. If it comes out dry, without sticking raw dough, then it's done.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove the finished pie from the oven. Cool it down. Cut into portions and transfer to plates. Serve it with fresh herbs, vegetables. Bon appetit!
