Slices of caramelized onion and bacon on crispy, flaky puff pastry. Serve with a side salad.
They’ll think you fussed forever with savoury pastry squares. Good as a light lunch with a quick, leafy salad on the side.
You can make the pie up to a day ahead; just don’t glaze it with the egg until it actually goes into the oven.
Nice for a lunch, with a leafy green side salad.
This pie has a gorgeous filling, a gorgeous crust, and so few ingredients! Yet the flavours of the chicken, chestnut mushrooms and white wine come through in a memorable dish.
Very easy, can be made a day in advance.
The onions turn really sweet because they are cooked for so long, first in the frying pan and then again in the oven. Very nice with a salad with tomatoes in it.
Use as a topping for meat or fruit pies, sausage rolls, etc, where you want a flaky crust but don’t need the rise. Don’t use this in recipes where the pastry needs to really rise, such as vol-au-vents, etc.

This is a cheat’s version, but who’ll complain if you hand it to them?
This is a summer recipe; make when the tomatoes are at their best and fresh basil is plentiful and inexpensive.
Baked red onions, tomatoes and puff pastry: yum. Dead easy to make, and looks great.
Lovely puffs that actually feature zucchini, rather than attempting to camoflauge it.
