Hairy Bikers Baked Bean Pie Ingredients

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 large onion, finely sliced
• 2 x 400g tins baked beans
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• A few dashes of Tabasco sauce
• 1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 300g mature cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 medium egg, lightly beaten
• 1 x 375g pack ready-rolled puff pastry

How To Make Hairy Bikers Baked Bean Pie

1. Cook Onions: Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C, gas mark 6). Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and fry for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Season Beans: In a bowl, mix the baked beans with Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Pour the seasoned beans into a pie dish (approximately 20cm wide x 7cm deep).
3. Add Cheese and Onion Mixture: Combine the grated cheese with the cooled onions. Add a bit more salt and pepper, then scatter this mixture evenly over the beans in the pie dish.
4. Prepare Pastry: Brush some beaten egg around the rim of the pie dish. Unroll the puff pastry over the dish, trimming off any excess around the edges. Use a fork to press down the edges of the pastry to seal it to the dish.
5. Bake the Pie: Brush the rest of the beaten egg over the top of the pastry. Make a small steam hole in the center of the pastry. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
6. Rest and Serve: Let the pie rest for 10 minutes after baking. Serve warm with steamed greens on the side.

Recipe Tips:

• Onion Cooking: Ensure the onions are thoroughly cooked until soft and golden before mixing with the cheese. This step is crucial for developing the flavor base of the pie.
• Pastry Handling: Keep the puff pastry cold until just before use. This helps the pastry puff up better and become flaky when baked.
• Egg Wash Application: Apply the egg wash generously to the pastry. This will help achieve a golden and crispy top crust.
• Baking Temperature and Time: Monitor the pie during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent the pastry from over-browning. If necessary, cover the top with foil to protect it.
