Ingredients
onion
1/2 cup (chopped)
butter
1 tablespoon (for sautéing)
Bisquick
1 cup
cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (shredded)
milk
1/3 cup
cheddar cheese
1 cup (grated)

poppy seeds
1 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes transparent, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the Bisquick, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Mix until well blended; the dough will be sticky.
4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead approximately 10 times, adding a little extra flour if needed to prevent sticking.
5
Lightly butter an 8 or 9-inch pie pan. Using your buttered hands, press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan to create a crust.
6
In a separate bowl, mix the grated cheddar cheese with the slightly beaten egg. Pour this mixture evenly over the crust.
7
Evenly distribute the sautéed onion and butter mixture on top of the cheese layer.
8
Sprinkle the dish with poppy seeds for added texture and a touch of elegance.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 17 to 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent over-baking.
10
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges for serving. Enjoy your beautiful, savory bread!
