Cheese and Onion Pie
Type: Main Dishes
Cheese and onion make a delicious flavor combination.
Prep Time: 15M
Cooking Time: 40M
Serves: Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 sheets prepared dough for an 8-9in (20-23cm) pie
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat the oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and cook for a couple of minutes until translucent and just starting to soften. Scrape into a bowl and leave to cool completely. Lightly beat 1 of the eggs, and stir into the cooled onion. Stir in the cheese and season with salt and pepper.
- Roll out one piece of pastry on a floured work surface. Use it to line a 8-9in (20-23cm) round pie pan, folding over the edges, and fill with the cheese and onion mixture. Moisten the edge of the pastry with a little water, then top with the other circle of pastry. Trim away the excess, then pinch together with your finger and thumb to seal. Using a sharp knife, make two slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
- Lightly beat the remaining egg to make an egg wash, and brush all over the top of the pie. Bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes until cooked and golden. Serve with a mixed salad and boiled or steamed new potatoes.
- Use a mixture of cheese for the filling if you like-half Cheddar, along with a crumbly light cheese such as Cheshire or Caerphilly is a good combination.
