[feast_advanced_jump_to] Being a Northern lass pies are very important to me. Now that we’ve moved to Devon, most of the chippies near us don’t sell cheese and onion pies.Fortunately they all sell the most amazing fish and chips, but I do miss a cheese and onion pie every now and then. So this is my homemade version – full of rich, cheesy, comforting goodness.
Line individual pie dishes (I use the foil ones (<–affiliate link)) with pastry and prick the base with a fork. Line with baking parchment and baking beans, then bake in the oven for 10 minutes.Meanwhile boil a medium potato that’s been cut into small chunks. Then drain. Whilst the potato is cooking, soften sliced onion in a pan with butter. Stir in flour, then stir in milk and cream. Add grated strong cheddar, mustard powder, salt, pepper and those cooked chunks of potato.
Remove the parchment and baking beans from the pie cases and spoon in the cheesy sauce.Trim off the cooked pastry with scissors.Top the pies with pastry, trim again, then crimp the edges of the pastry and brush with egg wash.Pierce the top with a sharp knife then place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Serve the pies warm from the oven. Or just serve them up on their own. They make a pretty filling meal without the need for side dishes 😁 Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe.
