Syn Free Cheese & Onion Pasties | Slimming World
Cheese pasties and dieting aren’t the most likely of bedfellows. Lashings of creamy cheese teamed up with puff pastry might be bloody delicious, but it’s also bloody calorific.
If you’re prone to a trip down to your local Gregg’s though, you’ll be pleased to know that you absolutely don’t have to abstain completely.
Your favourite baked treats can still be on the menu – it’s just a case of getting a bit creative in the kitchen and substituting a few ingredients to make them more waistline-friendly.
The additional good news here is that you don’t have to faff about yourself. I’ve done the faffing on your behalf, and came up with these Slimming World cheese and onion pasties that I think you’ll love.
Whether you want to pop them in a lunchbox and take them to work, or serve them up with some sides for dinner, these could become a staple on your weekly meal plans.
For the full ingredients list and detailed instructions, see the recipe card at the end of this post. Make sure you check out this important information first though…
So these are really Syn free?
Yep, that’s right! As long as you’re using the cheese and the wrap from your Healthy Extra A and Healthy Extra B allowances, it’s totally Syn free.
If you’re more of a calorie counter, then there’s 295 calories per pasty. When you consider their bakery counterparts, that’s a huge saving.
How to serve your Slimming World cheese and onion pasties
These pasties are surprisingly filling, and serving them with a leafy green salad makes for a satisfying meal.
A dollop of tomato chutney goes so well with the cheesy flavour too – just make sure that you count the calories or the Syns.
If you’re feeling particularly ravenous though, you could always make yourself a portion of Slimming World chips.
Because you really can’t beat a pasty and chips, can you?

Syn Free Cheese & Onion Pasties
Ingredients
- 2 Weight Watchers wraps
- 40 g reduced fat cheddar grated
- 1/2 onion finely diced
- 2 potatoes medium sized, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 dash Worcester sauce
- Low calorie cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 180 degrees.
- Boil the potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat and drain.
- Put the potatoes in a bowl and add the cheese, onion, mustard powder, Worcester sauce, and black pepper. Mash together well.
- Spritz a baking tray with low calorie cooking spray and place the wraps on the tray. Add the cheese and onion to one half of the wrap, being careful not to get it too close to the edge.
- Brush the inner edge with beaten egg, and fold the wrap in half to form your pasty. At this stage, you'll realise that your wraps aren't exact circles - don't worry about this though! Use the back of a folk to crimp the edges together, ensuring there are no spaces for your filling to ooze out, and then brush with beaten egg.
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, turn over, brush the other side with beaten egg, and then return to the oven for 10-15 minutes. This ensures that both sides of your bake are nice and browned.
- Serve and enjoy!
