All out onion pie

I have started on a 1200-cal diet and finding recipes that fit the bill is sometimes a bit of a struggle. The diet I follow has 3 meals and 3 snacks, where dinner is made up of about 300 cal (give or take…)

This is an onion pie that, including a salad, has about 300 cal. I adapted to meet my dietary requirements and with whatever is available in this country.

My kids LOVED it (they asked for seconds) and so did my husband.

2  large onions – 1 normal and 1 red, cubed or sliced

  2 leeks - white part only, sliced

 8 green onions, chopped

 1 bunch of chopped chives (either the normal one or the garlic ones)

4 tsp. oil

 250 gr 5% white cheese (or cottage)

 2 tablespoons of natural yogurt

 4 eggs

 4 tbs all purpose flour

 1 tsp baking powder

   1 tbs mustard

 3tbs soup granulates

Salt and black pepper to taste (I don't use any salt as I think the soup bouillon is salty enough)

 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees medium heat.

 In a large frying pan, sauté all the onions and the leek in the hot oil for about 10 minutes – stir frequently. Don't put the heat up too high so that it won't burn. Add a little bit of water as needed.

Add the green onions and chives and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add the flour, the soup mix, the baking powder and the flour. Turn down the heat completely and gently fry for another 4 minutes.

In a bowl, mix the eggs and cheese together and season to taste.

 Mix the cheese-egg mixture into the onion mix and mix well. Put everything into a baking or pie form and bake for about 45 minutes until golden.

For a 300 cal meal you need a fifth of a pie and a side salad.
