Ingredients
Dough:
- 200 gram Flour wheat / Flour
- 100 gram Butter
- 2 pinches Salt
- 5 tablespoons Water cold
Filling:
- 200 gram Chicken fillet or Turkey fillet
- 1 piece Leek
- 150 gram Hard cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- Salt to taste
Casting:
- 3 pieces Chicken eggs
- 350 ml Cream (30%)
- Pepper white to taste
- Nutmeg to taste
Instructions
- All proportions are given for the form d= 26 cm. Knead the dough from butter, flour, salt and water (do not knead for a long time), put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours. The baking dish should be lightly oiled, sprinkled with flour and put in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the products for the filling: onion, poultry fillet and cheese. I strongly recommend using leeks. I tried cooking with onions and green onions, but the most delicate taste of the pie is obtained with leeks.
- Finely chop the onion and lightly fry in butter over low heat. Three to five minutes will be enough.
- Poultry fillets should be cut into small pieces.
- Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
- Mix everything in a separate bowl, add a little salt.
- Prepare the products for filling: eggs, cream (I have 20%) and spices. I like the nutmeg and white pepper in this pie. Also, if desired, you can add some fresh or dried herbs. Choose greens with a delicate aroma and taste, so as not to drown out the delicate taste of the cake.
- Beat the eggs with a whisk, add cream and ground spices. Mix well.
- Roll out the finished dough in the form of a circle with a diameter slightly larger than the baking dish. Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, transfer it to the mold.
- Distribute the dough into the mold, closing the sides along the entire height. After that, the dough should be pricked with a fork.
- Spread the filling evenly and pour the prepared filling on top, after mixing it well again. Put the pie in the oven, preheated to 200 * C. Bake until golden brown. It takes me about 90 minutes or a little more.
- The pie is especially good when warm and goes well with dry white wine.
- Bon appetit!
