Cheese and Onion Pasty (Greggs Copycat)
This Cheese and Onion Pasty replicates a classic savory pastry filled with diced potato, onion, and sharp cheddar cheese mixed with English mustard. The filling is enclosed within puff pastry squares, sealed and baked until golden brown. The method balances creamy textured filling with flaky pastry and includes an egg wash and vent hole for perfect baking. The pasties offer a handheld meal or snack with traditional British roots.

Notes
- Keep puff pastry chilled until just before use to avoid stickiness or cracking.
- Do not overfill the pastry as this can prevent proper sealing.
- Generously season the filling with salt and pepper for balanced taste.
- Make a small slit on top of each pasty before baking to allow steam release.
- Be careful when eating the pasties as the filling may be very hot immediately after baking.
- Fresh parsley can be added to the filling to brighten flavors if desired.
