1
Peel the onion, chop finely or cut into rings. Heat the sunflower oil in a pan, fry the onion until golden brown, but watch that it does not burn out and does not turn black.
2
Salt and pepper the sour cream. Sour cream is better to take homemade, but if there is no way to get one, then bought in a store, but with high fat content, will do.
3
Grate the cheese. Rinse and chop finely.

Prepare a baking sheet with high sides, grease it with vegetable oil and distribute the frozen dumplings at the bottom in 1 row. Then sprinkle the main ingredient with finely chopped fried onions, pour sour cream mixture, spread the grated cheese on top. Place the original casserole dish in an oven heated to 180 ° C for about 45 minutes. If possible, then after cooking leave the dumplings in the oven off for another 10 minutes - during this time they will absorb the sauce and become softer and juicier.

Cool the dumplings casserole in the form, cut into portions. Sprinkle each chopped piece with chopped herbs.

Grind cheese on a fine grater. Cheese is better to take "Dutch" or "Parmesan" - in this case, the dish will turn out to be more piquant and spicy. For lovers of lean treats, it is better to bake dumplings with "Russian" cheese.

Pour the semi-finished product with egg-crushed mixture, place the mugs of tomato and mushrooms on top, sprinkle with chopped cheese and bake in the oven for 35 minutes, heated to 200 ° C.
