Caramelised Onion and Cheese Pastries: A Savoury Treat for Every Occasion
Elevate your pastry game with these Caramelised Onion and Cheese Pastries – a deliciously savoury option perfect for snacks, appetisers, or light meals. The combination of sweet, slow-cooked onions and rich, melty cheese encased in flaky pastry creates an irresistible treat that’s both comforting and elegant. Whether served warm from the oven or as part of a picnic spread, these pastries are guaranteed to impress.
The key to these pastries lies in perfectly caramelised onions, cooked slowly to bring out their natural sweetness. Paired with a cheese of your choice, such as sharp cheddar or creamy brie, the filling becomes a rich and indulgent centrepiece. Using your Instant Pot to caramelise the onions makes the process quicker and easier, ensuring you get that deep, golden flavour with minimal effort. Once prepared, the mixture is wrapped in buttery pastry and baked to golden perfection.
Perfect for entertaining or indulging at home, Caramelised Onion and Cheese Pastries are versatile and easy to customise. Add a sprinkle of herbs or a dash of balsamic glaze to enhance the flavour even further. With their rich, savoury filling and flaky crust, these pastries are a timeless favourite that will quickly become a staple in your recipe collection.
Caramelised Onion and Cheese Pastries
Product:
Vortex Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 300 g cold mashed potato
- Salt and pepper
- 200 g extra mature cheddar
- 100 g caramelised onion chutney
- 1 roll of Puff Pastry
- 1 Beaten egg
- 2 tbsp Poppy seeds
Instructions
- Mix together the potato, cheese and chutney in a bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
- Unroll the pastry, and slice in half longways.
- On each half make a ‘sausage’ of filling down the middle from end to end.
- Brush with beaten egg and fold each side of the pastry up on top of the filling to meet and overlap in the middle. Seal well using fingers and more egg wash.
- Turn the sausage over so the pastry ‘join’ is underneath, then cut into the preferred size rolls, with a few air holes cut on top too. Bruch again with egg wash, then sprinkle with poppy seeds.
- Place in the fridge to chill and repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
- Select BAKE on the Vortex Air Fryer, and set the time to 8 minutes and the temperature to 200°C and press start.
- Once the Air Fryer has preheated, add the rolls in batches of about 6 at a time (leaving space so they don’t touch)
- Once cooked, enjoy warm!
