Servings: persons

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 large onions, thinly sliced or 4 medium onions, finely sliced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
150 g sliced bacon (I use middle rashers and remove rinds and all fat)
2 sheets puff pastry, each cut into 4 squares
150 g cheese, something well-flavoured such as cheddar or 150 g gruyere, cut into cubes, plus
50 g cheese, grated for sprinkling over the pies
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 beaten eggs or 1 milk, for glazing

1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
2
Saute the onions and garlic in oil in a non-stick pan over a low-medium heat, stirring frequently, until onions and garlic are softened, about 25-30 minutes.
3
Remove the onions and garlic from the heat and season to taste.
4
Meanwhile, grill the bacon until it is crisp, drain it on paper towels, allow it to cool and then break it into small pieces.
5
In a mixing bowl, combine the onion-garlic mixture with the sage and sour cream until it is well-combined.
6
Lay the 8 pastry squares on a flat surface; divide the onion-garlic mixture among the top half of each square, reserving a little of the onion; top with cheese and bacon pieces.
7
Brush the edges of the pastry with water; then fold the bottom half of each pastry square over the top half and close the edges securely with a fork.
8
With a sharp knife, make a small slit in the top of each pie.
9
Place the pies on a baking tray and brush with beaten egg or milk; sprinkle with the extra grated cheese and the reserved onion.
10
Bake the pies for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
11
Cool for 5 minutes, then serve with salad greens.
