Cheese and Onion Flan

You also some cheap and simple meals at this time of year and this pre quiche Yorkshire recipe is just that. It is quick, easy and infinitely adaptable to the size of your dish, the amount of cheese you have in, even the number of eggs as you can just about make it with one. My ex mother in law taught me this a long time ago and we ate it last night to sounds of satisfaction.

1. Make some pastry in the processor with 6 oz flour, 3 oz butter, or butter and lard mixed, plus enough water to bind.
2. Line a 8'' sandwich tin, or a deep flan dish with the pastry. You will have some left over but if you do 4 oz flour it never is quite enough.
3. Chop finely 1 enormous Spanish onion, or 2 ordinary ones, cover with cold water in a pan and boil until soft.
4. Drain well.
5. Grate lots of strong cheese as much as you like.
6. Beat 2 eggs with some milk, about 1/4 pint, and season well.
7. Fill your pastry case with the onions, seasoned, the cheese and lastly the egg and milk.
8. Bake at No 6 30 mins or so until brown and firm.
9. Eat hot or cold.
