Steps to Prepare

1. Prepare the Dough

1. 1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, kefir, and sour cream until smooth.
   2. Add the salt and baking powder, mixing to combine.

1. Gradually sift in the flour while stirring, ensuring there are no lumps.
2. Stir in the melted butter and mix until a smooth, thick batter forms. Set aside while preparing the filling.

2. Prepare the Filling

1. 1. Boil the eggs until hard (approximately 10 minutes), cool them in cold water, and peel. Chop the eggs finely.

1. In a bowl, combine the chopped eggs, green onions, sour cream, and salt. Mix thoroughly to create a cohesive filling.

3. Assemble the Pie

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a round or rectangular baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper.
   2. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.

1. Spoon the green onion and egg filling over the batter, spreading it out evenly.
2. Pour the remaining batter over the filling, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

4. Brush and Bake

1. 1. In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk and sour cream for brushing. Use a pastry brush to spread the mixture evenly over the top of the pie.

1. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Cool and Serve

1. Allow the pie to cool slightly in the baking dish before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
