Collier’s Pie is a classic British recipe that is loved for its comforting and savory flavors. It is traditionally made with Collier's Welsh Cheddar, which gives the dish a nutty and bold flavor. This recipe is a twist on the classic dish, using any cheddar cheese of your choice. The combination of cheese, onion, and bacon is a winning trio that will satisfy your taste buds. This pie makes a great dinner option for a cold winter night.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2.	Roll out 1 pie crust and transfer it to a 23cm pie dish.

4.	Repeat the layering with the rest of the cheese, onion, and bacon.
5.	Roll out the second pie crust and place it on top of the filling. Pinch the edges of the crusts together to seal.
6.	Brush the beaten egg over the top crust.
7.	Bake the pie for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
