It’s the very best. Absolutely bloody delicious.That sounds tasty. I'm onto it soon.
Easy cheese n' onion pie.
1 400/450gm pack of mature or extra mature cheddar Cheese.
320gm pack of shortcrust pastry(sheet)
1 large or 2 medium onions
1egg
100mls of milk, I use semi skimmed.
White/black pepper
Worcester sauce
Sprinkle of flour
23cm(9") metal pie dish
Kitchen chopping board
Rolling pin
Roll pastry out on a lightly floured dusted kitchen chopping board to between 1/3 to half thickness of the pre rolled sheet.
Smear the pie tin with a thumbnail size blob of butter/margarine to stop pastry sticking to tin. Carefully lift pastry and place over tin, pressing pastry against the surface of the pie tin. Run a blunt knife around edge of tin to cut off the excess pastry and roll into a ball.
Chop onions into 5-10mm chunks. Add to microwavable bowl, cover in cling film . Prick cling film with a fork. Microwave 1 minute. Take out, gently shake onions and reheat for 1 more minute.
Let onions cool down whilst grating cheese. Mix cheese and onion together with fingers and add the mixed up cheese n' onion to pastry case in pie tin.
Lightly sprinkle with either white or black pepper, I prefer white. Add 4-6 splashes of Worcester sauce if you like(personal taste)
Pour 100ml milk into a bowl, crack agg and add it to the milk. Whisk until all mixed into a a constant shade of light yellow.
Pour evenly into pie, saving a small amount to smear on top of pie.
Roll out rest of pastry to same thickness in tin. Place on top and press patry around rim of tin with thumbs, better still, I use the prong of a fork to seal the lid.
Use a pastry brush(or fingers) to smear a bit of whisked egg/milk into pastry lid. Slice a knife gently in pie lid with three 3cm cuts. This allows steam to release whilst cooking.
Preheat oven to 200°/Gasmark 6 and bake around 25/35 mins or until top of pie is golden brown. If crust is golden brown on the heat I suggest, pie will be cooked.
Also, I forgot to mention. I sometimes add 2 slices of grilled bacon. If you fancy adding bacon grill to medium, trim fat and chop up into bits. Add to mix.
Hope you enjoy.
It is to me mate. But my parents owned a cafe, and on Sundays my mum would teach me too cook and bake from being young. She still swears blind that I made her egg n' toast with a cup of tea when I was 3. I was young, but I must of been older than that.
I would never of trusted either of my kids at that age with boiling water.
Thank the Lord Harry i'm not the only one who feels like this about fish pie. Don't know why it's wrong, it just is
Lol. Top quality post mate, I understand your frustration; )To make that i would have to get dressed, scrape the snow off the motor and go and find some fish. Then half an hours pissing around in the asda's cos they've moved all the stuff around and i can't find the soup. Then i'd have to find a non-spotty member of staff to tell me what broccoli looks like.
After wrestling with the self serve checkout machine and telling it 3 times 'I DON'T WANT A FUCKING BAG' Ii'd drive home, only to find the bag of spuds i know we have in the cupboard is actually a dirty bag with one mouldy, eye ridden ball of mush in it.
Back in the car to asda but rushing now and hit one of the many pot holes i usually avoid. I carry on determined and end up at the spud aisle only to find there's NO FUCKING BAGS. In desperation i stuff the loose spuds down my keks and walk out without paying, muttering summat about, 'Fuck em, bastards, simplefuckingrecipe twat.'
Once outside i'm feeling much better from the little shoplifting buzz i got. Jump in the car, bang a tune on and off i go, about ten yards. Fucking puncture. Lifting my now bruised head up off the steering wheel i spot the pub.
Simple.
I understand what you're saying, but homemade stuff isn't full of nasties like processed shite is.I had a cheese 'n onion pie at the kids' CL match against the Dippers. Scrumptious, but I don't suppose whoever made it went to the trouble outlined above!
you know what to do blue.
