Simple Cheese and Onion Pie Recipe

- This is a very simple recipe for a great supper - Cheese and Onion Pie!
Ingredients
500 g (2 lb) pastry (ready-made or see the section on Basic Techniques)
400 g (14 oz) onions, sliced
400 g (14 oz) cheese, grated
2 eggs
1 tsp mustard
Salt
Pepper
Instructions
Place the onions in a pan and just cover with water. Boil gently for 10 minutes and drain.
Place the drained onions in a bowl. Add the mustard and season well with salt and pepper. Add in the cheese.
Beat the eggs and add into the mixture, reserving a little of the egg for glazing the pie. Mix well.
Line an 8" (20 cm) pie dish with half of the pastry, making sure the pastry just comes over the edge of the dish. Pour in the cheese & onion mixture.
Roll out the remaining half of the pastry and place it on the top of the pie.
Trim, and crimp the edges with a fork to create a seal. Make some slits in the pastry to let steam out. Brush the pie with the remaining beaten egg.
Bake in the oven at 200°C for 30-35 minutes.
Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Titli's Tips
Use whatever cheese you want, but it should be at least semi-hard. Don’t try this with brie, for example!
The pie mixture is quite dry so there is no need to blind-bake the pastry beforehand. Goes well with a salad, or peas, or a nice crisp apple. There’s just something about cheese and apple…

12 years later -- this is still my go-to recipe whenever I make this pie. Cheers :)
Me too.
Same!
Same here
@TitliNihaan Made this for myself & friends this weekend. (Friends all died but I only lost a toe) .... NO, it really was delicious and was devoured. I've never even made a pie like this before but your recipe was so clear I thought I give it a go.
I made this last weekend and it came out great, used a mixture of sharp cheddar, swiss, and parmesan cheese. The leftovers reheated very nicely in the oven too!
Whenever I am in a bad mood, which happens to happen more often in Winter, I watch your videos, it just lights up my day!
Love it ! nice and simple with a little humor 😁 well done 👌🏾
How very strange but a very pleasant surprise! I haven't made your pie for many years and I just decided to make it again for this Sunday. AND, I then find that you're back with more recipes after well over a year's absence. I hope you are well and welcome back ...
Lovely with a typical taste of British humour.
This lady knows her onions...and her cheese !
@sseryka Any good-flavoured hard cheese works well for this recipe.
@fishybishbash Sure, you can fry the onions if you wish, but just until they are translucent...
@RujieKU Just a normal shortcrust pie pastry - filo or puff might work but it's better to use a regular pie pastry. See my video on making pastry if you're not sure.
@agnesdeque La recette c'est deja pour une tarte de 20 cm... Pour une tarte de 10 cm (par example) if faut diviser les quantities par (20/10)^2 = 4
I'm starting to try - try being the operative word - to recreate some of the pies my mum used to make. Your corned beef and potato pie worked a treat, thanks, so i'll give this a crack too. No blind baked pastry necessary for this one...?
Génial,comme ça je n'ai qu'à suivre la recette à la lettre ,merci Titli !
@Mikyajful I used Comte, which is like a cheddar. Any good flavoured hard or semi-hard cheese is fine.
@whitbyjet65 Of course you can. But who would eat it?
I’ve just made this for our tea it was yummylicious better than shop bought..thank you xx
I have no kitchen skills at all but have made this many times and take it to work,they love it, its so simple,if i can make it anyone can, i also put potatoes in it, thanks xx
@misterkiller89 Any good hard or semi-hard cheese will do. I wouldn't recommend using Brie :-)
If you want to add ham, make sure you cook it before adding.
@lubzyameen If the pie mix is sloppy - blind bake the pastry!
this looks like it'd be great if cubes of pancetta or ham. what kind of cheese did you use?
Thanks it was easy to understand
I almost died at the seal part hahahauahha you are the best! Do not vanish again!
Ws titli, I’m watching your recipe whilst doing my waking night shift.. I always think of food at this time so what better way to spend my free time. You do make me laugh 😂
This is the way all recipes should be.simple and getting to the point.x
Hi Titli.
I made your cheese and onion pie and it was so simple and delicious. Thank you
Margaret Bower. XX
@mickypoo4622 Normal pie pastry.
A really good recipe! ❤
You can do that too. It would add a little sweetness to the dish.
hurm, what can i use instead of mustard? plus, think it would be okay if i put some caramelized onion?
Dis moi Titli ,tu les fais pousser toi même ces superbes petits pois?A chaque fois ils me font saliver
Love you . You cook old style keep it up
Happy New Year Titlis.
I made the cheese and onion pie and it is very good, although the next time I do it I will reduce the onions to 300 gms. I made the pastry using your basic pastry recipe but for the fat I used half baking margarine and half lard and it came out really short and crumbly - delicious
Does anyone remember their mums making "cheese and onion"? back in the 80's. That's all she ever called it. It was just cheese and onion casserole but as far as I can remember there was no cream or milk, just this beautiful casserole. Big chunks of cheese and onion with its own juicy sauce and I can remember having it with chips. It was a treat meal. I'm dribbling thinking about it actually, it really was amazing. Sadly lost her many years ago and i never knew how to make it. I'd love so much to make it just as she did but honestly have no idea where to start.
Fantastic pie!
@magsbower1 You're very welcome :-)
Fantastic, recipe simple and easily explained Excellent!
Cheese and onion pie, marvellous - but maybe fry the onions, not simmer? Any thoughts Titli?
wow....very nice.thanks
Hello Titli...For the last hour, I've been debating which pie I should try 1st; your corned beef & potato pie or the cheese and onion pie.....I looked at both recipes again and am confused about 1 thing....How do you decide when the pie base should be blind baked and when not??
PS: love your food videos and your garden.... I am an avid gardener myself, but my experience is all with plants back home in India... still struggling with the seasons here in the UK :(
Just like my mum used to make! You have the best channel on RUclips. I miss good homemade British food. Living in Australia is good for the weather but I'm so sick of the food! :)
@yuexkyo2 How about just a touch of wasabi? Caramelised onion is fine :-)
@SportyX20 thats right ;) egg is an emulsifier so good advice :)
Titli,j'aimerai bien faire une tarte de 2O cm et je me demandai si je dois diviser les proportions par 2 ?
I do very similar, but I whip yoghurt into the eggs, gorgeous
Ms. Titli, what manner of cheese did you use? I'd assume cheddar, but you know what they say about assuming...
Looks awesome!!! Thanks!
Im definitely going to try this soon!
By the way, I really loved your video, you seem live a very lovely person :)
Titly je t'adore ^^ et j'adore tes recettes :)
Ramadan Kareem :)
@Glitterprincess23 So make some...
I... suppose... you could.
Great video. Reminds me of Kipper. :-) I'll try this recipe sometime.
that's exactly what i'm making right now
it's just i don't put it mustard, and i add in fussilli pasta and mushrooms
Love it!! You are wonderful too!! Adorable and funny!! 👍💕
Thanks for the simple no nonsense approach,will be trying it later 🙏 and just subscribed to your channel thank you 😄
Thanks for the laugh and the recipe, I have just finished making it and now looking forward to dinner Mmmmm can't wait. Thanks again.
Delicious!!!!
Definitely I'll try that!
Another winner!
If you wish
hi titli! what will happen if i really brush the top with egg? :)
@beecharmer32 People keep saying this. I must try and find some videos of Julia Child to see what they are talking about!
Brilliant
Amazing recipe ❤️❤️❤️
do you know how to make pav bhaji?? just out of curiosity.....=D
I hope my husband likes it! Thank you my gracious lady for posting,and I love your accent!
Love your humour and recipes.. 😂
What type of pastry ? puff? filo?
@brevo85 Surely not!
The best part on the vid is definitely the seal lol 😂.
Yay! I'm making this tonight, I think.
i love this channel super
This is really funny Titli
Titli : ''When i say seals i dont' mean *Seals noises*
Titli with captions on : ''When i say same i don't mean barbara berra beirut"
Hahaha :D
This will be good for mothers day tomirrow
Can I use puff pastery
@mattybock Good job a have a metric whatnot converter on my website :-)
Love you Titli,
Spot on , beautiful.
Thanks :-)
@ChaosGregor And you've just lit up my day :-)
You boil the onions. How about caramelising them with some oil? It does take longer, but wouldn't the flavour be more concentrated?
No Tili, you don't have to tell me everything...but it couldn't hurt! Heehee
As always, I love your vids!
yummmmm i am trying this for easter sunday!
thanks for the post Titli!!
Great video! So is it milk or eggs.. and quick question how do I stop my pets from dying? Thanks X
you are absolutely adorable! Trying this tonight (complete with the seal noise). xoxo
Where have you gone Tıtlıs.Not she your vıdeos for a long whıle now.Come on back we mıss you.
The egg helps the filling set, so forgetting the egg would make your filling runny!
@ItsKnucklez But then it wouldn't be a cheese and onion pie. It would be a cheese, onion and bacon pie.
I want some cheese and onion pie!
are you in uk , usa or pakistaN ?
thank you so much for this video. It really helped me to make my first pie which turned out great btw!
@ChaosGregor Same here! LOL!
@TitliNihaan Unfortunately, I'm on a Ramen kind of budget. I'm a starving college student and this video makes me very, very hungry. :(
Cheese and onion pie with sprouts followed by sago and prunes!!

Alternative recipe: if you're interested
Homemade pastry; half fat the flour so:
4oz plain flour and 2oz butter -
Combine to make breadcrumbs and then add enough water to make a dry, doughy ball. Roll it out and line a pie dish, don't waste excess just roll it back on itself for a fat crust. Bake with ceramic peas for 15 minutes.
Then chop one small onion and line the pastry case. On the layer 6oz of cheese (4oz mature cheddar and 2oz french hard cheese works well) then in a jug lightly w
this is great a halal recipe thank you im going to make one
Can I cut the onions into cubes
Tasnim Hussain Sure.
@TitliNihaan :D Thank you for replying
@Glitterprincess23 But you could get 8 meals out of this pie! Man cannot live by Ramen alone!
Come back xxxx
