  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make aspic pie with eggs and green onions in a slow cooker? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Be sure to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen, then the cake will turn out to be airy. Kefir and eggs for kneading the dough should be removed from the refrigerator in advance so that they are heated to room temperature.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Knead the dough. In a suitable container, beat two eggs. Add salt. For color, I recommend adding a pinch of turmeric. If you use homemade eggs with a bright yolk, turmeric is not necessary to add. Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Pour kefir into the egg mixture. Add baking soda and a little flour. Stir until smooth.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Add the sifted flour in parts, stirring thoroughly with a whisk. Please note that you may have more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Focus on the consistency of the dough.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    The dough should turn out to be fluid, but not quite liquid, about like thick sour cream.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    How to prepare the filling for the aspic pie? Finely chop the washed and dried green onions.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Boil hard boiled chicken eggs. Cool by pouring them with cold water. Peel the cooled eggs and also cut into small cubes with a knife or using a special device.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Chop the washed and dried dill. Combine all the chopped greens and eggs in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix. The filling is ready.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    You can start baking a pie in a slow cooker. Lubricate the bowl of the slow cooker with odorless refined vegetable oil (I used olive oil).

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Pour half of the dough into the bowl of the slow cooker. Put the filling on top of the batter and evenly distribute it.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Pour the remaining half of the dough onto the filling. Smooth with a silicone spatula or spoon dipped in cold water. Bake the pie in a slow cooker, turning on the "Baking" mode for 40 minutes. After switching off, carefully, so as not to burn yourself, take out the pie, turn it over to the other side and bake for another 5 minutes, so that a ruddy crust forms on the other side. Focus on your technique.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12.

    The finished cake is especially appetizing and delicious when hot. I served it with pickled mushrooms, herbs and fresh vegetables. Enjoy your meal!

Note that if the coating of your bowl was previously damaged (for example, overheating) or it is of poor quality, the cake may stick. You can avoid this by covering the bowl with parchment (you need to cut out a circle of a larger diameter than the bowl, with an indentation of about 7 cm). The parchment will not allow the dough to stick to the coating, but such a pie is unlikely to turn over. Therefore, if you choose parchment, I advise you to just bake the pie for 5 minutes longer (or until ready), without turning it over. A ruddy crust on top will not work, but the pie will not stick.

If you do not have a slow cooker, you can bake such a pie in the oven at 180 degrees for about 30-40 minutes until a golden crust appears.

How to cook hard-boiled eggs? To prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking, put them in cold water and put them on a small fire to cook. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique. 

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
