Cheese & Onion PIe

[@grahamturner5963]

I learnt to make something like this in school over 40 years ago in Bristol. Still make it now, although with variations (bacon, potato, parmesan flavoured pastry) Works well as a pasty too. Good to see this, Geoff

[@geoffsbakingblog]

HI Graham. This is just the sort of recipe that can be adapted to suit particular taste, rather like you mentioned.

[@grahamturner5963]

@@geoffsbakingblog- Sorry, Geoff. I forgot to say; I've tried a peach and pear version of your pastry free pear & almond tart. Both went down very well & I'm under orders to repeat both very soon

Omg.... I absolutely LOVE homemade cheese and onion pie YUMMY 😋 🧀

Hi Kat777. I was yummy. I can attest to that.

I honestly love cooking and baking and I try to watch all you videos I love your content keep it up thx 😁

[@geoffsbakingblog]

HI Just for my music. I am glad you like my videos. I hope you try some of the recipes too.

[@di4237]

Just come across this vid you posted 2yrs ago. Your recipes are fabulous and I love to see you taste-tasting each one you make. Your reaction to this cheese and onion pie is definitely worth a double thumbs-up. Will be making it for the weekend, so thank you Geoff, you are an inspiration.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Di. I am glad you like this recipe. Just as an aside I have never like cooked cheese, and have never eaten a pizza because of that. But as I get older I have discovered that taste buds must change since I now enjoy cooked cheese immensely. I also now eat olives and celery which I never did until the past 4 or 5 years.

[@di4237]

@@geoffsbakingblog I agree with you Geoff, taste preferences do seem to change as you grow older. I never ate olives, dates, capers or honey, but I do think that following recipes from you and another favourite culinary expert of mine, has broadened my horizons. So thank you Geoff for your clear, no-nonsense instructions and delicious recipes. I'm finally becoming a pretty decent cook, and as I'm 80 this month it proves, beyond doubt, that you're never too old to learn. With regards from your very grateful subscriber in the UK.

@@di4237 What a grand age. I hope you have a great birthday, with something special to eat.

[@di4237]

@@geoffsbakingblog Thank you Geoff. I will have something special to eat but I've not decided yet what to cook, with all your wonderful recipes I'm spoilt for choice. But I'll definitely be cooking it myself as I rather like my culinary efforts now. Best regards to you Geoff.

I absolutely love your recipes. I found your channel while looking for barm brack to bake for a special occasion. I made yours and it was delicious! I even baked an Irish coin inside. I will make this cheese onion pie very soon. Thank you for posting!

Oh Geoff my mouth is drooling. I can taste that pie from here. Cheese and onion go so well together. I like these kind of pies cold. Ideal for a picnic or a snack. Great video 👍

Hi Red. Thanks very much. This one tasted so good, the extra layer of onions on the bottom was so juicy, I loved it.

The pie was perfect, looked professional, Geoff. If you are/were not working in the culinary trade, you missed your calling. You have such a talent. I’ll wash up and make the tea if you bake the pie👍😃 Maureen x

[@brucebowen100]

This pie is a winner and will be perfect for the next pi day. It is a day to celebrate the mathematical constant pi (π) and to eat lots of pie. Pi Day celebrates the mathematical constant π (3.14). It is celebrated in countries that follow the month/day (m/dd) date format, because the digits in the date, March 14 or 3/14, are the first three digits of π (3.14). Thanks for the video.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Yes, very good for Pi day. In the UK Minces, or mince pies is rhyming slang for eyes. So, on your theme, I watch so much KZbin my mince pis R squared.

That just looks so delicious Geoff. I will definitely be making this many times! It looks like it will be a favorite here. I have planted a few tomatoes in lots of varieties and I think this would be nice to have together along with some salads as you mentioned... Inside or outside this will be a real treat. and nice as it can be made a head. and very portable. Winner! Thank you again... The hits keep coming... and coming!

[@adelekan8920]

I'm definitely going to make this.. have saved your video so can find it again. Thanks Geoff for another great recipe. Oh was wondering why you have changed the camera angle on your work bench? Or did you forget to put on trousers lol (joking)

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Adele. I hope you enjoy the pie when you make it. I change the camera angle, depending on what equipment I am going to use. I also change the tripod, lower or higher. Sometimes it is difficult to get it just right. I want to do an overhead camera, but so far I haven't found what I need for that. As for trousers, I think I sometimes forget to put them on LOL.

[@milesbancroft]

That is a winner Geoff. I agree it would be ideal for a picnic. The video did look a bit dark today, was there an under-cupboard light off, or maybe the white kitchen cupboard doors were affecting the exposure? Also there are a couple of versions of the 'where you could eat it' dialogue at 22:33. Apologies for being picky :-) I think it's a great recipe and long may they continue. I might try this with some smoked bacon sneaked in somewhere.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

HI Miles. I spotted the error towards the end, and have edited it 'in situ' on KZbin, which is something I haven't tried before. It will take a few hours to process and update but then I shouldn't repeat myself LOL. The video, for the ingredients part seemed slightly out of focus, which is not something I could fix, after the event. That may account for darkness during that part.

[@Mr.SLovesTheSacredHeartofJesus]

This looks absolutely delicious my friend. Now, do you eat this as a main course? Or is this served as a side dish with meat? I definitely will have to give it a try. All of your recipes are delicious. Have you ever thought of putting together an internet cookbook? Or PDF files for people to download? I think they'd be very popular. Keep the great videos coming. Paul

[@geoffsbakingblog]

HI Paul. Thanks very much. I eat this as my main course, with salad and maybe chips(French Fries). I eat it cold, though it can be eaten warm too. It is great to take as a picnic, or even a slice wrapped up to take for lunch at work. I have considered doing something with some of the recipes, but I haven't decided what I want to do yet.

[@karenstewart8818]

OOOH, this looks tasty. Could you let the onions (not the leaks or scallions) cook until they are golden/caremelised? It would make them a bit sweeter, but I love caremelised onions.

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Karen. If you mean the chopped onions you could cook them longer if you wish. But the process of slow cooking, until the water evaporates makes them nice and sweet. The sliced onions too, cooked in the same way give a lovely sweet and and juicy flavour.

Hi Henrietta. I am sure wholemeal flour will work, though it is likely to be more absorbent so you may need slightly more liquid. I hope the cat gets home soon, so you can go to bed.

I am confused a bit, why didn't u cook all onions together ,and b4 u put in chesse separate a little onion for the base,? Which I think u put on its own so it tries, to prevent a soggy bottom, maybe I've missed something, can u help

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Karen. I cooked sliced onion separately to spread over the base as i wanted that slightly different feel in the mouth, of the shreds. But, of course, you can do it any way you wish.

[@karenjohnson1589]

I am doing this today, I hope my tin is deep enough, could I cook in glass dish?

[@geoffsbakingblog]

Hi Karen. Yes you can bake it in a glass dish. Baking in glass is slightly different though, since it takes longer to heat up and then it retains heat for longer when it is out of the oven. You may have to adjust the baking time a little. But if you are used to baking in a glass dish I think you will know that.
