Ingredients

• 0.5 (500 g) packet frozen chopped onions
• 2 cups self raising flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 60 g butter, diced
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
• 2/3 cup grated tasty cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Place the frozen onions in a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 4 minutes.

2. Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl; add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips to resemble fine breadcrumbs.

3. Mix the egg, milk and mustard together; add them to the flour mixture and mix to form a soft dough.

4. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead lightly; and then divide the mixture into approximately 14 uneven pieces.

5. Line a greased 14cm x 22cm loaf pan with baking paper; and place half the dough in pieces over the base.

6. Sprinkle with half of the onion, cheese and parsley; then cover it with the remaining dough and the remaining onion, cheese and parsley.

7. Bake the loaf in a preheated oven at 200°C /400°F for 40-45 minutes or until it is a rich golden brown.

8. Notes: This is best eaten hot straight from the oven. Add chopped kalamata olives or diced bacon with the onion for a tasty addition.
