Onion Tart with Lancashire Cheese

Of course, England has a long tradition of savory pies, and they make so much sense for when your friends come over: You can just bake one ahead of time and plonk it down on the table, letting everyone serve themselves. Sebastian Delamothe, who was then a cheesemonger at Neal’s Yard Dairy, suggested I try this tart, which calls out for a good ale and a big bowl of apples nearby.
