- English School Cheese Pie
Serve up some nostalgia with this cheese pie that was on the English school dinner menus throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s. Tasting this brings back fond memories of school life and the wonderful dinner ladies who prepared fresh, hot dinners for us every day. So whether this is a trip down memory lane or you fancy sampling a new recipe to add your family’s lunch/dinner menu, give it a go. And let me know how you like it by posting a like or a comment!
Pastry:
1½ cup (180g) all purpose (plain) flour
½ teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (114g) butter, cold
¼ cup (60ml) cold water
Filling:
2 eggs, beaten
1 ¼ cup (300ml) milk
2 cups (475 ml) grated cheese
1 tablespoon cottage cheese
1 tomato, sliced (for garnish)
1. Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C)
2. Combine flour, sugar, and salt. Rub butter into dry ingredients to form breadcrumbs. Add water and work mixture until a dough is formed.
3. Roll out the dough to slightly larger than your greased flan dish. Line the flan dish with the pastry, then use a fork to make holes all over (these will allow the pastry to breathe as it bakes) Blind bake for 10 minutes. Next, remove the pastry from the oven and turn down the heat to 340°F (170°C).
4. Add a layer of grated cheese to line the pastry crust. Break eggs into a separate bowl and add in the milk. Whisk, then add in the cottage cheese, mix well. Pour the mix over the grated cheese. Decorate with tomato slices. Bake at 340°F (170°C) for 45 minutes or until the cheese has a golden brown finish and the egg mixture has become firm. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool.
Can be eaten warm or cold. Ideal for picnics and lunchboxes!

It was the best meal during primary school lunch! I had forgotten about it until I came across your video. I'm from Hammersmith and went to St Augustine's Primary school. We never had it with tomato. I just remember it being in a big rectangle pan. I feel like Celine Dion. It's all coming back to me now! Xxx
Glad this has brought back some memories for you too. I grew up in Yorkshire but I think school dinners were pretty similar up and down the country. Like you, we had it served up in rectangles cut from a large pan. I didn't like tomatoes back then though...and I would peel them off when the dinner ladies weren't looking!! Thanks for watching😀
This is the one I've been looking for can't wait to try it out. Had this every time it was on with chips and beans 😋👍
Made me hungry watching this.The pie looked amazing and always loved this at school.😁
Red Leicester is my favourite cheese. I remember eating this at school too. It looks delicious. Thanks for sharing x
Just made the wardolf salad, i will be making this cheese pie tomorrow, thank you. we had a cheese and potato pie at school.. south London, cant wait to have this now wish i done it with the salad lol

Wow first to comment! Well prepared pie! Looks too delicious yummy and cheesy! Thanks for sharing this recipe! Stay connected to my kitchen too!😊
Thank you so much! Yes, let's stay connected😊
It took me two hours after seeing this video come up to realise I actually had this at school and was one of the best things I ever had 😂 i know what im having tomorrow 👊
Perfect! Best cheeseflan recipe on youtube.
Thank you for watching😊
Thanks for posting. 👍
Thanks for watching😊
In schools in the north of England, they called this a cheese, egg flan.
My favourite. Thanks for the recipe.
Hope you enjoy it:)
It was cheese pie in my school in York, despite having no pie top. It was thicker that this too. no onion, no tomato, I guess the school cooks knew any embelishments would just lead to it not being eaten.
Ooh yes. And custard flan.
Hi thanks for the video I'm making this later but only got cheddar cheese. Sent the link to some family members too.hope it tastes good with cheddar cheese x
Cheddar works absolutely fine:) I've often had to do the same - I live in the States, so it's not always easy to find Red Leicester. I hope you and the family enjoy this pie😊
how much degrees do you set the oven heat when you put the crust in for 10 minutes?
Thanks for your question. Preheat the oven and bake the crust at 390F (200C). Then turn down the temperature to 340F (170C) for the remainder of the baking. Hope this clarifies:)
How is this not a quiche lol?
Sorry, cup measure, not cop
Or in the real world use pre made pastry lol
Absolutely! I find myself going down the pre-made route quite often these days too😀
I use a pre-baked pastry case for even more time saving.
Why don't you measure in grams, not everyone has a cop measure
I live in the States and grams are not a measure used here. Fair point though for viewers where the metric system is used and I may get round to adding grams in too for future recipes. Thanks for commenting and watching 😊
@@SususCookbook Thank you,that would bei really helpfull
@@lesleybridges535 a simple Google search has a table of conversions I just have printed in my recipe book I love US recipes but prefer gm measures x
Add at least 2 more eggs
Don't over-egg the pudding. the old saying goes. 😁
