Number Of Ingredients 17

Roasted Walla Walla Onions:
4 Walla Walla (sweet) onions (about 1 lb each)
1 cup coarse salt, for roasting
Pine Mushroom Fonduta:
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups peeled, washed, and thinly sliced pine mushrooms
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups Vegetable Stock
½ cup heavy cream
Reserved chopped innards from onions
2 tbsp. thyme leaves Kosher salt
Fresh-ground black pepper
1 cup small torn pieces day- old Arctic Sourdough
2 cups grated Gruyère-style cheese (we like Farm House Natural Cheeses Heidi)
To Serve:
1 cup grated Gruyère-style cheese
Arctic Sourdough

Steps:

  • Roasted Walla Walla Onions:
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Cut the very tops (about 1 inch) off the onions and then replace. Make a bed of coarse salt in a small roasting pan. Place the onions on the salt and roast for about an hour, or until soft through.
  • When cool enough to handle, scoop out the insides of the onions, leaving the outer two layers intact within the skin. Take care not to scrape out the base of the onions, as the fonduta will leak out the bottom. Finely chop half of the onion innards for the filling. Set aside.
  • Pine Mushroom Fonduta:
  • In a medium-size sauté pan, heat the olive oil and add the sliced pine mushrooms. Sweat for 5 minutes, then add the flour. Sauté for 1 minute more, then add the Vegetable Stock and cream. Bring to a simmer and add the reserved chopped Walla Walla, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the day-old sourdough bread pieces. Cook together for 5 minutes to meld the flavours. Add the grated Gruyère, stirring to melt, then remove f rom the heat.
  • Assembly:
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the Roasted Walla Walla Onions in a roasting pan, and fill with hot Pine Mushroom Fonduta (if you have extra, it can be served on the side). Top with the grated Gruyère. Roast for 10 minutes, until bubbly.
  • Serve with lots of Arctic Sourdough and any extra fonduta that didn't fit in the onions.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, sweet Walla Walla onions, a flaky pie crust, and flavorful cheese are all essential for a great onion pie.
  • Slice the onions thinly and cook them until they are soft and translucent. This will help to bring out their natural sweetness and prevent them from overpowering the other ingredients in the pie.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. A combination of sharp cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can also try using other cheeses that you like, such as Gouda, Monterey Jack, or Fontina.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pie. The filling should be set and bubbly, but the crust should not be too brown.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing it. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

Walla Walla onion pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover onions. With its sweet and savory flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
