3. Preheat the oven to 170°C/gas 3. Roll out the cheese pastry and use it to line a 25cm loose-based flan tin.

5. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onions and fry gently for about 5 minutes.

7. Beat the eggs with the cream. Pour the egg mixture into the flan case.
8. Bake the flan for 30 minutes until the filling is set and lightly browned.
