If you love cheese and apple together, try this galette style pie for dinner…
INGREDIENTS
- 100g cold Co-op unsalted butter, diced, plus extra for greasing
- 200g Co-op plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 tbsp Co-op olive oil
- 2 Co-op British leeks, trimmed, halved lengthways, and sliced
- 1 Co-op British apple, cored and sliced
- 3 Co-op British free-range eggs, beaten
- 120g Co-op British extra mature Cheddar, grated
METHOD
- In a bowl, rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it looks like breadcrumbs
- Add 2-3 tbsp cold water and mix until the dough comes together
- Knead briefly on a work surface until it forms a ball, then wrap in cling film and chill for 20 mins
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/Gas 6
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and fry the leek over a medium heat for 10 mins, until tender
- Add the apple slices, season and fry for another 8-10 mins, until the apple is soft but still holding its shape. Set aside to cool
- Roll out the pastry on a floured work surface to a circle about 40cm across and 5mm thick, then use to line a greased 20cm-diameter pie dish
- Trim the pastry to leave an overhang of about 4cm
- Set aside in the fridge
- Remove about 1 tbsp of the beaten egg for the glaze, then season the remainder in a bowl
- Fold in the leek and apple mixture, and the cheese
- Pour the filling into the pastry case, then fold the sides over into the middle
- Use the reserved egg to brush the top of the pastry, then bake in the oven for 35-40 mins until the pastry is golden and the filling is set, with a slight wobble
