Cheese and Onion Pasty

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Season with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper, then let cool slightly.

Step 3

Roll out the 1 puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 4 equal squares.

Step 4

Divide the cooked onion and 150 g grated cheddar cheese among the centers of the pastry squares. Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle and press the edges with a fork to seal.

Step 5

Beat the 1 egg in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the pasties with the beaten egg.

Step 6

Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Serve warm. Enjoy the flaky pastry and melted cheese filling!
