FRENCH ONION AND BLUE CHEESE TART

Steps:

• Start by cooking the onions. They need to be cooked slowly on low heat, so it's best to begin with those.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick frying pan-we have a load of onions to cook. When the butter has melted, pick off the thyme leaves and add, then add the garlic and onions. Mix everything together.
• Now add the pepper, salt, and sugar and mix. Cook on medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until you have onions that look like the kind you would only eat with a burger in a Sunday market at 6 a.m.!
• While that cooks, start on the pastry. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with some parchment paper or use the paper the pastry comes in and roll out the pastry onto the sheet.
• Using a knife, score a smaller rectangle ½ inch/1cm inside the pastry rectangle, making sure not to cut all the way through. Pierce the inner rectangle with a fork all over to allow the steam to escape when it bakes.
• Brush the edges with the egg and bake for 20 minutes, until golden all over.
• Take out and, using the back of a spoon, push down all the puffed-up pastry of the inner rectangle, creating a nice neat border.
• Take the blue cheese and crumble all over the inner rectangle of the pastry. Add the onions and scatter them all over till you have an even layer. Now bake for 15 minutes.
• Take out and let cool for 10 minutes before eating, sprinkled with the chives.

TURKEY PIE WITH POTATOES, SQUASH, CHARD AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Roll puff pastry into 2 rounds, one 12 inches in diameter, the other 10 inches in diameter. Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with the larger round. Refrigerate lined pan and remaining pastry round while preparing the filling ingredients.
• Put a skillet over medium heat and add bacon. Cook until barely crisp and add onion, stirring until softened, about 2 minutes. Combine bacon-onion mixture with cooked chard and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
• Layer the ingredients into the pastry: First make an even layer of the mashed potatoes, covering the bottom completely. Sprinkle with a handful of grated cheese. Mix turkey meat with rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Distribute in an even layer and sprinkle with a handful of cheese. Add a layer of chard-bacon mixture and cheese, followed by a final layer of squash and cheese.
• Fit the smaller round of pastry on top and crimp together with bottom pastry, leaving the crimped edge inside the rim. Brush top with beaten egg and cut 2 or 3 vent holes in the surface with a paring knife.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then turn heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for 40 minutes more, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees. Let rest 5 minutes, then carefully remove sides of springform pan. If sides of pie seem soft, bake for another 10 minutes with sides removed. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving. If desired, serve with gravy or a green salad.

FAST AND EASY TURKEY POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch pie dish with 1 pastry crust; set the other crust aside.
• In a bowl, mix together the turkey, cream of chicken soup, seasoned salt and pepper, Cheddar cheese, and mixed vegetables. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish. Top the pie with the remaining pie crust, then pinch and fold the edges of the crusts together to seal. Cut a slit into the top of the pie crust with a sharp knife to vent the steam.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes.

FRENCH ONION SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Mash potatoes and add 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, milk, green onion, and butter. Stir until mixed well.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet with flour and pepper until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in French onion soup and water.
• Warm frozen peas in a small, microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir peas into the beef and soup mixture.
• Pour the meat and soup mixture into the bottom of a glass casserole dish. Spread potatoes over the top using a rubber spatula. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese and sprinkle with more pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
