-
Crack the Eggs: Crack 6 fresh eggs into the pastry shell, arranging them in a circular pattern for even coverage.

Add Onions: Evenly distribute the sliced onion rings over the top of the eggs, ensuring that every slice is coated with flavor.

Layer the Tomatoes: Gently place sliced tomatoes on top, creating a colorful and appetizing presentation.
-
Cover with Pastry: Carefully place the top pastry over the pie, sealing the edges to prevent any filling from escaping during baking.

Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown.
