Categories     Main Course

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup Unsalted butter
6 Cooking onions (sliced)
1 tsp Kosher salt
1 tsp Black pepper
3/4 cup Beer (Pale Ale or IPA)
1 lb Gruyere cheese (grated)
0.5 lb Cheddar cheese (grated)
2 Eggs
5 tbsp Sour cream
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 cups All purpose flour
1 tbsp Dried mustard powder
3/4 tsp Kosher salt
1 cup Unsalted butter
1/3 cup Milk
1 Egg (beaten with 1 tablespoon of milk)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add sliced onion, salt, and pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Pour in the beer, stir well, and raise the heat to medium and cook, stirring until the onions are soft, around 8 minutes. Set aside to cool or cover and chill in the refrigerator.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the cooled onions, cheeses, eggs, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce and mustard until combined. Set aside filling to make pastry dough.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a springform pan or casserole dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, mustard powder, and kosher salt. Make a well in the centre of the flour and set aside.
  • Place a large saucepan over medium heat. Gently bring the milk and butter to a gentle simmer. Pour the hot liquid into the flour well. Use a rubber spatula to mix together until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Divide dough in two. While the dough is still hot, roll each piece between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap to the size of the base of your pan. Place one of the rounds of dough into the prepared pan. Starting at the centre of the dough press outward, gently working the dough outward and up the sides of the pan.
  • Scrape the filling into the crust and position the second crust over the filling, trimming the excess away and pinching the seams where the bottom and top crusts meet together.
  • Brush the top crust with the egg wash and use a sharp knife to cut three vent holes. Place your pie crust on a cookie sheet and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The Onion and Cheese Pie is done baking once the exterior is a glossy brown and filling bubbles.
  • Allow the pie to cool until warm or room temperature before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with a fresh salad.

Pie Crust Ingredients
------------------
2 ½ cups flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup chilled butter, chopped into cubes
6 tablespoons ice water (roughly)
1 tsp salt
1tsp sugar
Pie Filling Ingredients
-------------------
2 large onions (3 medium) thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup water
1 cup cheese, grated (Cheshire, Wensleydale, Lancashire or sharp cheddar cheese)
pinch of salt & pepper
milk or egg white

Steps:

  • InstructionsFirst: Make the Pie CrustCombine the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add your chilled butter cubes and toss the cubes to coat them in flour. Using a food processor or a hand pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until it is coarse and crumbly. Work quickly and handle as little as possible. The key to a good pastry is to keep everything nice and cold.Mix in just enough ice water to bind the mixture, about 6 tablespoons, and press the dough together. You want the dough to hold together but you do not want to knead or over work it. Divide the dough into two, quickly flatten each portion into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.Cook the OnionsThe secret to the perfect cheese and onion pie is in how you cook the onions. Done properly they are slightly sweet and rich in flavour. To achieve this: slice two large onions into thin slices and gently sauté them in butter until they are soft but not browned (3-5 minutes). Add a pinch or two of salt. Pour in a cup of water and let the onions gently simmer until the liquid has cooked down. Its important that you do not brown the onions. When done, transfer the onions to a plate and refrigerate to cool.As the onions cool, grate the cheese and get ready to roll out your dough.After chilling the dough for 30 minutes it's time to roll it out. Unwrap the dough and lightly flour your counter top. If necessary, rub some flour on your rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking. Roll out the base of the pie. You will want it to be large enough that the edges hang over your pie plate. About 10" or so in diameter for a 9" pie plate.Line your pie plate with the rolled out dough leaving the edges hanging over the plate. Add the cheese and onion mixture.Roll out your second piece of dough. You can be creative with the top. Cut long strips and create a lattice, or go wild with your pie decorating imagination. Fold the edges of your crust over and press together to create the crust. Move along the crust making indents (waves) as you go.Brush the tops and edges with milk or egg white and bake at 375 for 35-45 minutes. The crust should nicely browned and the filling bubbly.Let cool for ten minutes before cutting. Serve it with a side of chips and peas or a crunchy salad or a side of hearty baked beans.

The most important thing to do is make sure you use organic onions and extra mature cheddar, these two ingredients will give you the best flavour and make it something you want to do again and again. The method is very simple so anyone can make it.

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C. Grease and flour a 9" pie dish. Rub oil over whole of the inside of the dish, bottom and sides. Roll out the pastry to fit then place in the tin. Flatten pastry into bottom and sides thoroughly. With excess pastry over the sides take a rolling pin and roll over the edge of the dish to get a lovely neat edge and remove the excess. Prick the bottom with a fork all over.
  • Peel potatoes, chop into quarters and boil until just soft. Drain and allow to dry a bit.
  • Slice the onions and add to a large mixing bowl. Add all the other ingredients and mix well. Add potatoes and mash into the mix with a knob of butter.
  • Fill the pastry case and level out. Place in the oven for at least 40 mins check the bottom of the pie if the pastry is evenly golden it is ready. If not pop back in for 5 mins at a time and keep checking until done.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the pie will be. Use a good quality cheese, fresh eggs, and real butter.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to handle and less likely to tear.
  • Preheat the oven before baking the pie. This will help to ensure that the pie cooks evenly.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The filling should be firm but not dry.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Cheese pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover cheese, and it's also a perfect dish to make ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make a cheese pie that's sure to impress your family and friends.
