I have been wanting to try out this simple and easy pie recipe for quite a while, finally, with my daughter Karen around we both decided to try a hand on it and here is the outcome.....
The recipe which I am sharing here, especially on the cream and egg mixture, the amount is just by rough estimate as I don't use exact measurements.
What you need:
Store-bought Puff Pastry Square Dough (4 pieces, makes 2 pie)
3 slices Bacon (cut into 1" strips)
2 sticks Chinese Leeks (peeled, washed, sliced into thin slices)
1 tsp butter (for frying leek)
1 egg
3 tbsp cream
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
Salt (to taste)
Dash of grounded pepper
Few simple steps:
- In a medium heated pan fry the bacon strips until brown and lightly crispy, dish into a bowl and put aside.
- Pour off excess oil from the bacon, in the same pan melt butter and stir-fry leeks until fragrant, dish into the same bowl as the bacon and set aside to cool.
- Assemble the puff pastry by laying a piece at the bottom and cut 4 strips using another piece, brush sides of the square pastry with some water and place strips along edges to form a border. Place the assembled puff pastry on a baking tray lightly greased to prevent the pastry from sticking onto the tray. Repeat till both are done.
- Crack the egg into a bowl, add in cream, ground nutmeg, pepper and salt. Gently beat the ingredients until well combined, then add in the bacon and leek. Mix well.
- Spoon mixture into prepared pastry shells.
- Bake in a preheated oven of 200 degree Celsius for 25 minutes, or until the pastry shells have risen well.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately.
