SUPER EASY SAVOURY HAND PIES
Hi there Galley Folks. I’ve been pantry diving again, searching for easy to make meals with things typically on hand. The likes of canned salmon, tuna or crab. The likes of frozen puff pastry. Add to this an egg, some cheese and chopped veggies and you have a delicious little meal of hand pies.
Once I thawed the pastry, I cut it into squares. And before placing into the muffin wells, I used the egg to very lightly brush the edges of each square. The rest of the egg was mixed in with the remaining the ingredients.
The pastry puffed up equally as well in the little Omnia stove top oven and in the conventional oven making these perfect for cooking in minimal spaces with limited resources. I’ll definitely be making these during our next camping outing.
Serve them warm with wedges of lemon and sprinkling of hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt and you have a very respectable appetizer. Or toss up a crisp salad to go with and your light summer supper is ready. These were made in regular (not super-sized muffin cups), because I served them with a salad for supper and then ‘yay for leftovers’ we had the other six the following morning rewarmed for brunch. But if you want to get all fancy as an appetizer, cut the pastry into 24 pieces instead of 12 and use mini muffin cups. Consumable in one elegant little bite.
I’m going to be taking a wee break of about two weeks to enjoy our guests from away, but will be back with full vigour and more ideas for easy creations. Before you go dear Galley Friends, stop by to check out a few more of my puff pastry creations…
