To make savoury pies you can use puff pastry or traditional pie dough, either home made or store bought. Today I paired zucchini with speck, but you can use a plethora of ingredients.
prep time 10 min cook time 35-45 min
ingredients
- 350g puff pastry
- 500g zucchini, sliced or rounds
- 100g speck (pancetta or bacon is fine), diced or in strips
- 2 eggs
- 100 ml milk (or heavy cream)
- 30 grated Parmigiano
- salt and pepper
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1. Preheat the oven to 180 C.
2. Cook the zucchini in a pan with the oil for 5-6 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the speck.
3. Mix the eggs vigorously, add the milk and cheese and a dash of salt and pepper.
4. Roll out the puff pastry into a baking dish, previously covered with parchment paper, prick it with the prongs of a fork and add the zucchini filling.
5. Pour the egg mix on top and place in the oven until golden.
6. Check the time on your oven. Mine always requires more time than the recipes suggest.
Tip: you can replace the egg and milk mixture with 250g of ricotta.
BUON APPETITO!
