When it comes to pies, this recipe with green onions and telemea is among everyone's favorites. It is a delicious combination of flavors that evokes memories of family meals, where every dish was prepared with love. This rustic pie can be enjoyed warm, but it is just as delicious cold, making it perfect for brunch or a snack.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon herbs de Provence (you can also use a mix of basil, oregano, and thyme)
- 50 ml milk
- 1 egg
- 100 ml oil (preferably sunflower or olive oil)
- A bunch of green onions (about 100 g)
- 100 g telemea (cow or sheep, according to preference)
- Fresh dill for decoration

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by finely chopping the green onions, making sure to remove the tougher parts. The telemea should be grated on a fine grater to incorporate evenly into the mixture. It is recommended to use fresh telemea, as it will add an intense flavor to the pie.

2. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and herbs de Provence. These herbs not only bring a pleasant aroma but also a note of taste complexity.

3. Combining the wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg with the milk and oil. Make sure the wet ingredients are well incorporated to avoid lumps in the mixture.

4. Combining the ingredients: Pour the mixture of wet ingredients over the dry ones and mix well with a spatula or a wooden spoon. It is important not to overmix, just enough to ensure there is no dry flour left. Now add the green onions and grated telemea, gently mixing to distribute them evenly.

5. Preparing the baking pan: Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat). Grease a baking tray with oil, ensuring it is well covered to prevent the pie from sticking.

6. Baking the pie: Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and smooth it out with a spatula. Sprinkle grated telemea and fresh dill on top for added flavor. Place the tray in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes, or until the pie turns golden and slightly browned. Each oven is different, so it's good to check the pie after 25 minutes.

7. Cooling and serving: Once the pie is baked, let it cool for a few minutes before cutting it. It can be served warm, but it will be just as delicious cold. We recommend serving it alongside a fresh green salad or a garlic yogurt sauce for a contrast of flavors.

Useful tips and tricks:

- You can experiment with other ingredients, adding dill, parsley, or even olives to diversify the pie's taste.
- If you want to give it a more elegant look, you can sprinkle sesame seeds or cumin on top before baking.
- I advise using good quality flour, as this can influence the final texture of the pie.
