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!

I'm allergic to gluten, so I used a gluten-free pie crust. The pie was still amazing!

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the beef broth for vegetable broth. The pie was still delicious!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my own taste. I used Gruyère cheese instead of Swiss, and I added a bit of thyme to the filling. It turned out perfectly!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. The crust was a bit too dry, and the filling was a bit too bland.
