    • Quick Tip

    How to peel onions easily:
    Cut off both ends and chop onion in half before peeling. The skin will them strip away easily from each half!

  • Chop the onions roughly and add to a non-stick pan with the butter and olive oil.

  • Fry gently over a medium heat until onions begin to turn transparent.

  • Meanwhile, line the sides of a 12 inch pie dish with the puff pastry.

  • Cover the base of the pastry with one cup of the grated cheese.

  • When the onions are transparent, add the honey and stir until melted.

  • Remove onions from the heat and allow to cool.

  • Blanch the asparagus spears in boiling water for 2-3 minutes or until bright green. Transfer to cold water to stop the cooking process.

  • Layer the cooled onions in the pie dish over the grated cheese.

  • Chop the asparagus into 1 inch pieces and layer over the onions.

  • Chop the smoked salmon into small pieces and layer over the asparagus.

  • Dot the cream cheese all over the salmon. (Use a teaspoon and push the cream cheese off with your fingers. This bit is a bit messy but it's so worthwhile!)

  • Add the eggs, milk, cream and seasonings to a medium jug and whisk together.

  • Pour the whisked mixture into the pie dish. (You can add a little more milk if the dish is not full enough - leave about 1/3 inch between the top of the liquid and the top of the pie dish.)

  • Sprinkle the other cup of grated cheese over the top and dust with paprika.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown.

  • Remove from the oven and allow to stand for a few minutes before serving.

  • Voila - serve hot or cold!
