CHEESE AND ONION OAT PIE

Preparation Method :

• Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F / Gas Mark 5.
• Heat the oil and half the butter in a saucepan. Add the onions and garlic, gently cook for about 3-5 minutes or until soft.
• Remove from the heat and tip into a large bowl.
• Spread the oats on a baking sheet and toast in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes. Allow it to cool.
• Add to the onions with the cheese, eggs and parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste and mix well.
• Line the base of a 9 inch round sandwich tin with greaseproof paper and oil well. Arrange the potato slices on the base, overlapping them slightly.
• Spoon the cheese and oat mixture on top of the potato, spread evenly with the back of a spoon. Cover with tinfoil and bake for another half an hour.
• Invert the pie onto a baking sheet so that the potatoes are on top. Carefully remove the tin and lining paper.
• Preheat the grill to medium. Melt the remaining butter and carefully brush over the potato topping.
• Cook under the preheated grill at least for 5 minutes or until the potatoes are lightly browned. Cut into wedges and serve.
