Print Recipe

Jamie Oliver’s Cheese and Onion Pasties are handheld pastries filled with a savory mixture of cheese, onions, and potatoes. Wrapped in a flaky, golden pastry, the filling is cooked until it’s soft and gooey with a hint of sweetness from the onions. They’re perfect for a hearty snack, lunch, or a comforting meal that you can enjoy warm or cold.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these savory cheese and onion pasties:

  • Potatoes (1 cup, diced) – Adds creaminess and texture to the filling.
  • Onions (1 large, diced) – Provides a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • Cheddar Cheese (1 cup, grated) – Gives a rich, melty, cheesy flavor.
  • Butter (2 tbsp) – Used for cooking the onions and potatoes.
  • Puff Pastry Sheets (1 package) – Store-bought puff pastry saves time and creates a flaky crust.
  • Milk (1 tbsp, for brushing) – Helps create a golden-brown crust.
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste) – Enhances the flavor of the filling.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for 5-7 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced onions. Cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized.
  3. Combine the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, onions, and grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper, mixing well to combine.
  4. Roll Out the Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut into large circles, about 5-6 inches in diameter.
  5. Add the Filling: Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese and onion mixture onto one half of each pastry circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
  6. Seal the Pasties: Fold the pastry over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges with a fork to seal, then brush the tops with milk for a golden crust.
  7. Bake: Place the pasties on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the pasties to cool slightly on a wire rack, then enjoy warm or at room temperature.
