Traditional Lancashire Cheese & Onion Pie

Line a deep pie dish with shortcrust pastry.

Gently sauté plenty of onions in butter until soft and translucent (don't brown them).

Crumble a generous amount of creamy Lancashire cheese.

Mix the cooled onions with the cheese and season with lots of white or black pepper.

Fill the pastry case and top with a pastry lid.

Crimp edges to seal and brush with egg wash.

Bake at 200°C for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serve warm or cold.
