Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1 cup caramelized onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in Gruyere cheese, caramelized onions, and fresh sage, ensuring an even distribution.
- Add heavy cream and mix gently until everything is just combined—do not overwork the dough.

- Allow to cool slightly before serving to enhance the flavors.
Notes
For a healthier version, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour and consider adding seeds for extra nutrition.
