‘Cheese pie’ was on the junior school dinner menu every week in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s in autumn term. 

This 'retro-flan' goes well with harvest produce - green salad, green beans and potato mash. 

For that 1970’s ‘glow’, use red Leicester cheese. 

For a traditional ‘lumpy’ texture and tang, add a tablespoon of cottage cheese.


INGREDIENTS:

For the Pastry:
225 gm/8oz plain flour
60 gms/2oz butter
60 gms/2oz lard


For the Filling:
2 eggs beaten in to 300 ml/half pint of milk
225 gm/½ lb grated cheese
1 tblsp cottage cheese (optional)
1 sliced tomato to garnish


METHOD:
1. Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees C.
2. Rub flour and fat to form breadcrumbs and add a little water to make a dough.
3. Roll out dough and place in flan dish.
4. ‘Blind bake’ for 10 mins.
5. Remove from the oven.
5. Turn oven temperature down to 170 degrees C.
6. Add grated cheese.
7. Pour on egg/milk mix.
8. Decorate with slices of tomato.
