Ingredients
- 4 sheets of flaky puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups cooked fish, chicken or other leftover meat
- 1 cup cooked vegetables (frozen vegetables also work well)
- 1 cup white sauce (or sauce of your choice)
- 1 egg, beaten
Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC.
- Grease muffin trays with oil spray.
- Choose a circular item to cut around in order to make the pastry bases. Try a mug or a bowl, but make sure they are the right size to fit your muffin tins. Use a knife to cut around your item. Cut six pastry rounds (or as many pies as you would like to make).
- Grease the muffin tins, and then push the pastry into the muffin tins.
- Mix the fish (or chicken or meat), vegetables and white sauce together. Season to taste.
- Spoon the mixture into the pastry bases, be careful not to overfill
- Cut the excess pastry into thin strips to use on the top of the pie.
- Decorate the tops of the pie with the pastry strips. You could weave them to form a lattice, lay them in an asterix pattern or simply put them side-by-side. Be creative!
- Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
- Cook in the oven for 30 minutes or until they are puffed and golden.
