Cheese pie a la school dinners.

[Essell]

Does anyone remember school dinner cheese pie? It was baked in large pastry lined tins. The result was not smooth and moist as it would be in a quiche. It was granular with a very cheesy taste, rather like Welsh Rarebit but more solid, and really satisfying. I cannot find any recipe that vaguely resembles it.

I have found a couple of recipes. Did it have potato in it?

Probably more like the school's old bog rolls.......

No potato - just cheese, although occasionally I wondered if there was a little onion.

Sorry I meant to post the links!

Scroll down a few replies and there is a recipe there.

The other one was in the Daily Mail but it contains potatoes:

I know exactly what you mean Essel, nothing's ever quite the same. I found a link but it's the same as mazie's.

Hello Vodkancoke
Gosh - that sounds as though it might be it ! A comment further down in the link you sent says it all .
"Cheese pie, chips and beans - best school dinner ever "
I might just give the beans a miss :o).
Thanks so much - will try it and get back to you.
