Filling

Method

Filling

  1. 1

    Sauté Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onions and sauté until they are soft and golden, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  2. 2

    Mix Filling Ingredients

    Once the onions are cooked, remove them from heat. In a bowl, combine the sautéed onions with 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well and set aside to cool.

Dough

  1. 3

    Prepare Dough

    In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 1 cup of cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 4

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Divide the dough into two halves, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 5

    Roll Out Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a circle about 1/8 inch thick. Place it into a pie dish, allowing the edges to hang over. Fill with the cheese and onion mixture.

  4. 6

    Top with Second Dough

    Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filled pie. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Baking

  1. 7

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
