The best fish pie
This pie uses creme fraiche and cheese instead of a time consuming and tricky roux based sauce, making it so easy and quick to rustle up. It's also delicious!

- 1 onion diced

- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C (fan assisted)
- Peel the potatoes and cut into even sized chunks, boil for approx 20 mins or untill soft.
- Meanwhile add eggs to pan of potatoes and hard boil.
- Meanwhile soften onion and garlic in a little oil, add the fish and fry untill starting to turn opaque.
- Add the creme fraiche and 75g cheese and stir untill the cheese is melted.
- The eggs should be cooked through by now, remove from pan and peel (submerge in cold water if they are too hot to handle) chop roughly and add to fish mix.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and pour into a casserole dish.
- Mash the potatoes and smooth over the fish mix, top with the remaining cheese and bake in the oven for half an hour, or untill the top is starting to brown.
