Cheddar Pierogies with Caramelized Onions Recipe
Cheddar Pierogies with Caramelized Onions Recipe-February 2024
Feb 12, 2026 3:34 AM

  This is another recipe where caramelized onions work well. Though they’re not actually moist, they ensure you’re not eating a dry, bland dish. And if you make them ahead (see page 225), you can reheat them in a flash to turn what would otherwise be an ordinary meal into a restaurant-quality one.

  

Ingredients

makes 1 serving

  3 potato and Cheddar pierogies (2.5 g of fat or less for 3 pierogies; I used Mrs. T’s)

  1/4 cup Easier-Than-Caramelized Onions (see page 225), reheated if necessary

  

Step 1

Boil the pierogies according to package directions. Drain them and transfer them to a serving bowl. Top them with the onions. Serve immediately.
