Instructions
Step 1
Peel the onion, chop finely or cut into rings. Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan, fry the onion until golden brown, but make sure that it does not burn or turn black.
Step 2
Season the sour cream with salt and pepper. It is better to take homemade sour cream, but if there is no way to get one, then one bought in a store, but with a high fat content, will do.
Step 3
Grate the cheese. Rinse the greens and chop finely.
Step 4
Prepare a baking sheet with high sides, grease it with vegetable oil and distribute the frozen dumplings on the bottom in 1 row. Then sprinkle the main ingredient with finely chopped fried onions, pour over the sour cream mixture, spread the grated cheese on top. Place the dish with the original casserole in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for about 45 minutes. If possible, after cooking, leave the dumplings in the turned off oven for another 10 minutes - during this time they will additionally absorb the sauce and become softer and juicier.
Step 5
Cool the finished dumplings casserole in the form, cut into portions. Sprinkle each portion with chopped herbs.
Step 6
You can bake dumplings in the oven in another way. To do this, beat the eggs with sour cream and spices until smooth. Rinse the parsley, dill, basil and green onions and chop finely. Cut the tomatoes into thin slices, the mushrooms into small slices.
Step 7
Grind the cheese on a fine grater. Cheese is better to take "Holland" or "Parmesan" - in this case, the dish will turn out to be more piquant and spicy. Lovers of lean delicacies are better off baking dumplings with "Russian" cheese.
Step 8
Take a prepared baking dish, brush it with melted butter, put frozen dumplings on the bottom. Pour the semi-finished product with the egg-mixed mixture, place the tomato and mushroom circles on top, sprinkle with chopped cheese and bake in an oven preheated to 200 ° C for 35 minutes. Sprinkle the cooked casserole with chopped herbs, divide into portions and serve hot.
