Savory Cheese Pie
Ingredients
- 2 pieces puff pastry
- 3 medium onions, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add chopped onions and cook, stirring often, until translucent and golden. Transfer onions to a bowl to cool, 5 minutes.
- Add cheese, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to onions, and stir gently to combine.
- Add 2 eggs, lightly beaten, to onion mixture along with salt and pepper. Stir to blend thoroughly.
- Cut a circle with a 9-inch diameter out of each piece of puff pastry (use a pie plate as a guide). Place one puff pastry circle on prepared baking sheet.
- Spread onion mixture evenly over puff pastry on baking sheet leaving a 1-inch border. Brush a little cold water along exposed edge of puff pastry. Top with second round of puff pastry, and press firmly to seal the two sheets together.
- Beat third egg in a separate dish and brush over top of puff pastry. Cut a decorative slit in center of top crust to help vent steam. Bake in center of preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Allow pastry to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
