Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C (gas mark 6-7).
- Finely grate the cheese and mix it in a bowl with the beaten egg, melted butter, chopped onion, salt, pepper and parsley.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut out rounds about 10 cm across with a cutter or a bowl.
- Place a spoonful of filling in the centre of each round, fold the pastry into a half-moon and seal the edges with a fork.
- Arrange the pies on a tray lined with baking paper and prick them lightly so steam can escape.
- Beat the second egg with the milk and brush the tops of the pies for a golden finish.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until well browned and puffed.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes on a rack before serving, sprinkled with paprika if you like.
Variations and tips
Appetiser version. Reduce the rounds to 6 cm to make bite-sized pies.
Spicy version. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese filling.
