How to make Cheese and Potato Pie
Method
- Fill a large saucepan with cold water, bring to the boil and add potatoes and onions. Make sure that the vegetables are covered and then boil until the potatoes are soft.
- Drain the potatoes and the onions
- Cut the onions into small slices (this is now tear proof as they are cooked)
- Mash the potatoes with a little milk or butter if desired and mix in 175g of the cheese.(Reserve the rest of the cheese for the garnish)
- Add the onions to the mixture and mix carefully so that they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Put the mixture into an oven proof serving dish and make four hollows in the mash.
- Crack an egg into each hollow and garnish the pie with some slices of tomato.
- Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top of the pie.
- Put the pie under a medium grill and watch to make sure that it does not burn. By the time the cheese has melted , the eggs should be cooked, but check by putting a knife in the egg white.
- Serve, perhaps accompanied by a salad.
