Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 1 and ⅓ cup plain flour
• ½ cup of butter
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 3-6 tablespoons of ice water

For the filling:

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 6 medium red onions (sliced)

• 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 1 spoon of honey
• salt and pepper

• 1/2 cup of cream cheese
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Method:

• Add the flour to the food processor, sugar, and salt, and mix briefly.
• Add half the butter and mix briefly. Then add the rest of the butter and mix briefly again.
• Lumps of butter may remain but should be no larger than a large lentil.
• Now add ice water two spoons at a time. Pay attention to the consistency; the dough should not be sticky.
• Pat the dough prepared in this way into a bun, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate it for at least an hour.
• After cooling, leave the dough at room temperature for at least 10 minutes, and you can start rolling.
• Find a pan about one time larger than the diameter of the muffin pan (such as a smaller bowl or a wider mug).

• Then, pierce the bottom of the dough with a fork and put it in the fridge with the baking pan before you prepare the filling.
• Fry the onion in a little oil, stirring only occasionally; it takes 2-3 minutes.
• Then cover the onion with a lid and let it simmer for another 8-10 minutes on low heat.
• Add the sugar, balsamic vinegar, honey, a little salt and pepper, and cook for another 10 minutes until the onions are caramelized (stir occasionally).
• Prepare the cheese filling. Beat both cheeses, eggs, and parsley to a smooth consistency.
