Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Ensure you have a pie dish or similar baking dish ready.
Roll out the sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface if needed to fit your pie dish. Gently place the pastry into the dish, pressing it into the edges and trimming off any excess. Prick the base of the pastry with a fork to prevent it puffing up during baking.
Line the pastry with baking paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove the paper and weights, and bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Cook the Bacon and Onion:
Chop the onion finely and cut the bacon strips into small pieces. In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until it starts to brown. Add the chopped onion and continue to cook until the onion becomes translucent. Set aside to cool slightly.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the pre-baked pastry shell, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. You can test the doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the filling to set and makes it easier to cut neat slices.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) before starting to ensure it is at the right temperature when you are ready to bake.
- Thaw the puff pastry sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before using so it is easier to handle and won't tear.
- Cook the bacon strips until they are crispy to enhance the flavor and texture of the pie.
- Squeeze any excess water out of the spinach before adding it to the mixture to prevent a soggy pie.
- For a golden brown crust, brush the top of the pie with a beaten egg before baking.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving to let the filling set properly.
This Family Spinach and Bacon Pie is a delightful dish that combines savory bacon, creamy cheese, and nutritious spinach all encased in a crispy puff pastry. Follow these tips and steps to create a delicious pie that will impress your family and guests. Enjoy your homemade, comforting meal!
