Best Savory Onion Pie Recipes

SAVORY ONION PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the pie crust in advance, hopefully overnight. I chilled the dough for 4 hours and it wasn't ready, so I made the dish the following evening. The dough cooperated much better the second night.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water slowly until mixture forms a ball. Only use as much as you need. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4-5 hours.
• Roll out one of the balls of dough on counter. Set in 9" pie pan and refrigerate until needed.
• Saute onions in butter, salt and pepper until tender, not brown. Spread over bottom layer pastry. Sprinkle with cheese.
• Blend all remaining ingredients together. Pour over onions and cheese.
• Take out the second ball of dough and roll it out for top crust. Be sure to cut slits for venting and secure the top to the bottom by pinching the edges, or use the tongs of a fork to press the top and bottom together.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes.
• Cool 20 minutes and serve.

CHEESE AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
• Line an oven tray with baking paper and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and saute the onions over medium heat for 5- 7 minutes, or until golden and soft.
• Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool for 10 minutes, before adding the cheese, parsley, mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
• Mix well, then add 1 beaten egg to the bowl, with salt and pepper to your taste, and mix well again.
• Using a cake pan or dinner plate as a guide, cut each sheet of pastry into a 9 inch (23 cm) circle.
• Lay one sheet of pastry on the prepared baking tray.
• Dollop the cheese mixture over the pastry base, piling it higher in the middle, and leave a narrow border around the edge.
• Lightly brush the border with some of the second beaten egg.
• Place the remaining sheet of pastry over the filling, stretching lightly if necessary to neatly fit the bottom sheet.
• Press and seal the edges well.
• Brush the top with the remaining beaten egg, and cut two slits in the top to allow the steam to escape.
• Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, before reducing the heat to 350F (180C).
• Cook a further 20-25 minutes or until pastry is crisp and golden brown.

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!
