This traditional Lancashire Cheese Pie is indulgent comfort food at it’s very best. Sharp cheddar and tangy onions with a shortcrust pastry topping. It freezes beautifully so I make a batch of pies for easy weeknight meals.

Roll it out.

Lay the rolled pastry on top of the pies.

Trim off the excess pastry. I like to do this by rolling my rolling pin over the top of the pie. It trims the excess pastry off perfectly and seals the edges of the pie quickly and easily.

Mix a splash of milk with a whisked egg.

Brush it on top of the pies to glaze.

Cook or Freeze Traditional Lancashire Cheese Pie

Bake in the oven at 200 degrees centigrade / Gas Mark 4 for about 45 minutes.

Or cover your pies with clingfilm and leave them to cool completely before popping them in the freezer.

Grab a pie out of the freezer and let it defrost in the fridge overnight.

If you’re in a rush you can cook your Cheese pie in an air fryer. It should take about 20 minutes and will be cooked when the pastry is a lovely golden brown colour.
