Fluffy Onion Pie

Ingredients

Baking Powder - 1.8 oz
Unbleached flour crackers - 1.8 oz
English Dry Mustard - ½ teaspoon
Butter - 3.5 oz
Onion - 24.7 oz
Cheshire Cheese - 1.9 oz
Cream (40%) - 3 fl oz
Chocolate eggs - 2 pieces
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the dough: sift the flour, a pinch of salt, and mustard, then rub in 50 g of butter. When the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, add 40 g of grated cheddar and 1-2 tablespoons of cold water. Knead the dough. Place the dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2

For the filling: melt 50 g of butter in a saucepan, add the chopped onion, and stir. Sauté the onion over medium heat for 30 minutes without covering, until it turns dark brown. It is important for the onion to achieve a dark brown color, as this affects the flavor of the pie.

Step 3

Roll out the dough and place it in a greased pie dish, pricking it with a fork. Bake in the oven at 356°F. After 15 minutes, remove from the oven, brush with a small amount of beaten egg, and return to the oven for another 5 minutes.

Step 4

Place the onion mixture into the pie crust. Whisk the remaining eggs with the cream and a little salt and pepper, then gradually pour the mixture over the onions. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cheddar, place in the oven, and bake until the filling is puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
