Questions about Onion and potato flan cheese
How do you stop the pastry going soggy in a cheese, onion and potato flan?
Blind-bake the pastry case at 200 °C for about 15 minutes, lined with baking paper and baking beans, then remove the beans and bake for 5 minutes more. Let cooked onions and potatoes cool and drain off any liquid before filling the case.
Do the potatoes need cooking before they go into the flan?
Yes. Boil peeled, sliced potatoes for 6–8 minutes until just tender, then drain them well and let them steam-dry. They finish cooking in the oven without releasing as much water into the pastry.
How long should you bake a cheese, onion and potato flan?
Bake it at 180 °C for about 30–40 minutes, until the filling is just set and the top is golden. Leave it to stand for 10 minutes before slicing so the filling holds together.
Which cheese works best in a cheese, onion and potato flan?
Mature Cheddar gives a strong, savoury flavour and melts reliably; Gruyère or a similar firm cheese also works well. Grate it finely so it spreads evenly through the filling.
What can you serve with cheese, onion and potato flan?
Serve a warm slice with dressed green leaves, or pair it with tomato chutney and a simple salad for a cold lunch. It also makes a substantial addition to a picnic.
Can you freeze cheese, onion and potato flan?
Yes. Cool it completely, wrap individual slices well and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost in the fridge, then reheat until piping hot throughout; the pastry is crisper if reheated in the oven rather than the microwave.
