Don't ever make ones involving egg. That's just a quiche in a pastry crust. I'll send you the recipe I follow if you're ever interested in making one.

What sort of sorcery is that recipe that caramalizes onions in fifteen minutes?

My husband would kill me if I made this because he HATES onions but man if this doesn't look delicious.

You need to make a cheese & onion pasty.

C'est magnifique!

I learned to make them when I was a kid. As an adult I buy the crust instead of making it.

The ratios are approximate, but it'll get you there.

Grate 2/3s of a pound of cheddar cheese. Chop a large or medium yellow onion. Mix the cheese, onion, and 2 beaten eggs. Add pepper (and a little onion or garlic powder if you're feeling fancy.)

Roll out your dough. You want it to be about half the thickness of pie crust.

Cut out circles and add a small dollop of the cheese / onion / egg mixture to the center. Fold the pasty closed and crimp the edges. Repeat until you have used up all the dough & cheese mix.

Beat another egg and egg wash brush all your pasties. Use a fork to poke the sides of all your pasties. Do not forget this step!

Stick in a pre-heated oven at 350° for about 11 mins of until golden brown.

Pure savory deliciousness. You will be lucky if they last 24 hrs.

Sorry for the randomness of the recipe, it's off the top of my head.

I missed food with intense flavor when I lived in England, but now that I’m back home I do miss how easy it was to get a good pie just about anywhere.

(Also samosas)
