Cheese, Potato, Onion & Bacon Pie

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while ham is often less expensive.

cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk

Greek yogurt reduces calories while adding creaminess.

pastry dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought pie crust

Whole wheat adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

Gently fry a thinly sliced medium onion and 100 G of bacon or lardons in a tablespoon of oil.

Meanwhile, bring 500 G of peeled potatoes to the boil and cook until tender.

When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and leave for a few minutes in their own steam.

Once the onions have browned and gone sticky, turn off the heat.

Mash the potatoes (doesn't have to be super smooth).

Add a knob of butter, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of mustard, a beaten egg, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes.

Add about 115 G of grated cheese (3/4 or 2/3 of it) into the mix together with the bacon and onions, and mix everything well.

Grease a baking dish with a bit of butter and add in the pie mix.

Sprinkle on the remaining cheese.

Bake at 180° C for about 40 minutes.
