Meat and Cheese Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 1 sheet of pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

For the filling:

  • 500 g (1 lb) ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 bell pepper (optional), diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 150 g (1 ½ cups) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 3 eggs
  • 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy cream or evaporated milk
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Herbs like oregano, thyme, or rosemary to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the crust:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Roll out the pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Press the edges to secure it. Poke the base of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up. Pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside.
  1. Prepare the filling:
  • In a large skillet, heat some olive oil and sauté the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened.
  • Add the ground meat and cook until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  • Stir in the diced tomato and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  1. Mix the custard:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  1. Assemble the pie:
  • Spread the meat mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.
  • Pour the egg and cream mixture over the meat.
  • Top with the shredded cheese.
  1. Bake:
  • Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the cheese is golden and bubbling.
  1. Serve:
  • Let the pie rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm!
