   Spread the strudel dough and brush four sheets with a little butter. Place the remaining four sheets on top. For the filling, peel and finely dice the onion. Sauté in hot butter until translucent, then remove from heat. Mix in the layered cheese, grated cheese, egg yolks, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
