SAVOURY FRENCH ONION PIE



Savoury French Onion Pie image

This dish is not only ridiculously easy to prepare but is also made from scratch, giving you an extra excuse to gloat. Although this recipe is time-consuming, the onions can be cooked ahead of time and then thrown in with the base at the last minute, if you're in a rush. The original recipe is from Nigella Lawson's fantastic, "How To Be A Domestic Goddess," and I only changed it to make it a little easier for North American kitchens to prepare. Please enjoy!

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 medium red onions
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
2/3 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
100 ml skim milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons hot mustard
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees farenheit.
  • Peel and halve the onions, then divide each half into 4 quadrants.
  • Heat the first portion of butter in a large saucepan, then add the onions, stirring regularly. Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  • Add the rosemary, then press into the bottom of a baking dish (I use a casserole dish), sprinkling with about 1/4 cup of the cheese. Leave to sit.
  • Pour the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl, and add the leftover cheese.
  • In a seperate bowl, mix together the melted butter, milk, mustard, and egg, then pour all together over the flour mixture.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon until you get a very goopy dough. Spoon the dough onto the onion mixture, making sure it covers the whole surface evenly and seals the edges.
  • Pop the whole thing into the oven for about 15 minutes, turn the heat down to about 300 degrees, then give it about another 10 minutes, checking constantly for the top to be golden and crisp looking.
  • Pull it out of the oven (the crust should test clean with a fork), and let it stand for a few minutes.
  • Cover with a large plate, then flip it over, remove the baking dish, and voilà: Savoury French Onion Pie!

SAVORY ONION PIE



Savory Onion Pie image

Perfect for rainy (or snowy) days, when you can get up and get a plate of seconds easily. I make a two-crust pie, but most recipes for onion pie use just a bottom-crust. I use a shortening-based pie dough, which I think lets the flavor of the onions take center stage; though, a butter crust would certainly compliment the onions nicely. I've seen some recipes that call for bacon, and of course; bacon is just plain good. I think my recipe is pretty basic, so I look forward to seeing reviews with modifications. Enjoy!

Time P1DT1h

Yield 1 9 inch pie, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons butter
3 cups thinly sliced yellow onions
2 garlic cloves
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 cup flour
1 (8 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Prepare the pie crust in advance, hopefully overnight. I chilled the dough for 4 hours and it wasn't ready, so I made the dish the following evening. The dough cooperated much better the second night.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water slowly until mixture forms a ball. Only use as much as you need. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4-5 hours.
  • Roll out one of the balls of dough on counter. Set in 9" pie pan and refrigerate until needed.
  • Saute onions in butter, salt and pepper until tender, not brown. Spread over bottom layer pastry. Sprinkle with cheese.
  • Blend all remaining ingredients together. Pour over onions and cheese.
  • Take out the second ball of dough and roll it out for top crust. Be sure to cut slits for venting and secure the top to the bottom by pinching the edges, or use the tongs of a fork to press the top and bottom together.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes.
  • Cool 20 minutes and serve.

Categories     Breakfast     Main Course

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Deep dish pie shell (uncooked)
3 pounds Mixed onions (red, white, yellow and vidalia) (chopped)
2 Eggs
1 cup Crème Fraîche (can substitute plain yogurt or sour cream)
4 dashes Hot pepper sauce
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Bacon and chives to garnish (optional)
1 cup Mayonnaise
1 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Slice 3 onions using a food processor and place in a slow cooker and cook on high for 6-8 hours or until caramelized to golden brown.
  • Now that the onions have caramelized drain off the juices and set aside for later.
  • Place onions in a large bowl to cool completely. Once onions have cooled add creme fraiche, hot pepper sauce, eggs, salt and pepper. If you feel you need a little moisture in your mixture add just a tiny bit of onion juice. You don't want too much juice or your crust will be soggy. Stir until well incorporated and place in uncooked pie shell.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a small bowl combine all the topping ingredients. Place on top of onion pie spreading out evenly to edges of crust. To avoid crust from burning cover edges with pie shield and bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes.
  • Remove pie shield and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until top of pie is completed golden brown on top.
  • Remove pie from oven and allow to cool a few minutes prior to serving. Garnish with bacon and chives if desired. The pie can be served warm, cold, or room temperature.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of onions. This will give your pie a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of yellow, white, and red onions.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly. This will help to develop their sweetness and flavor. Cook the onions over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Use a good quality cheese. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of your pie. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss.
  • Don't overcook the pie. The onions should be soft and caramelized, but they should still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooked onions will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve the pie warm. This is when it will be at its best. You can serve it with a side salad or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Savory onion pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give savory onion pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
