Remember my daughter used to love it,I made one some time ago but used a quiche dish lined then topped the filling with puff pastry & she commented that it tasted just like school one(many years ago)she is now 36yrs old.So maybe it was the pastry that made the difference Annie.

I remember it! I absolutely dreaded school dinners if this was on the menu - I just hate cheese and the dining room used to stink to high heaven!

Of course every cheese eater loved it, I mean really loved it, my brothers and my OH still talk about it now. The one served in my school didn't have potatoes in it annie - it was pastry with the fluffy cheese 'stuff' in it.

Saying that, I've no idea how it was made, but I bet even if you did get a recipe it wouldn't taste anything like it used to.

Good luck though.

Thanks for your reply Rosti, all I can remember about the cheese pie was that it was very light and very cheesy. I have looked at the link but most of the others sharing the same liking of school cheese pie contained tomatoes, this did not.
I can't think whether it contained potatoes, I don't think so as it was really light.

I was at school in the 60's but can't remember that we had cheese pie, can you give more of an idea of what it was like?

Have a look here to see if it helps. [link]
