Cheese And Onion Pie
Recipe by Graham
Cheese And Onion Pie is a versatile little beast, being handy for a snack, a starter, a summer lunch or a full meal. Best served cold with a salad, Cheese And Onion Pie uses a hot water crust pastry which, when baked, acquires a rich, shiny, golden-brown exterior, that is fairly crisp and water-resistant.

How to Cook Cheese And Onion Pie
- First, make the hot water crust pastry. Warm a large mixing bowl and sift in the flour. Make a well in the centre. In a small saucepan, heat the butter and the milk until almost boiling then pour the mixture into the well in the flour. Mix quickly until smooth then divide the pastry into two balls, one a little larger than the other, and roll out.
- For the filling, peel and finely chop the onions then melt the butter in a frying pan and gently fry the onions on a low heat until soft (about 10 minutes). Leave to cool; meanwhile, grate the cheese. When the onions are cooled, mix them into a bowl with the grated cheese, eggs, cream and the seasoning, and mix thoroughly with your fingers.
- Place the larger of the two pastries in the bottom of a lined, greased baking tin. Pour the cheese and onion mixture into the pastry case then moisten the edges with a little milk. Cover with the rolled-out top pastry, crimp the edges together carefully and trim off any excess pastry.
- Beat the egg yolk (from the pastry ingredients) and brush over the top of the pie. Make a hole in the middle about ¾" (2cm) in diameter and bake the pie in a preheated moderate oven (Mk 4 - 350ºF - 180ºC) for 50 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling from the hole in the crust. Allow to cool before serving.

What To Eat Tonight
Who doesn't like Chinese food? I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't just love the fusion of flavours, colours and ideas.
Not everybody is a carnivore. If you prefer vegetables, here's a selection that will give you a choice of some really stunning dishes.
The smoke, the sizzle, the aroma, yeah - it's time for BBQ but don't buy scrappy steaks if you want to eat like a king.
Other Cheese Recipes
Spinach and Feta Rounds with Greek Tomato Salad is not just a great vegetarian dish, it's light, refreshing and perfect for a summer day.
Hot Camembert with Cherry Filling is a somewhat decadent way of mixing cheese and fruit, but it's very, very more-ish when served with crusty bread.
