We haven’t had pie in forever at home. It is really a shame since a savoury pie is 1) easy to make, 2) it is a great way to empty your fridge and 3) it tastes good.
This pie is filled with veggies and goodies
In general, when serving a savoury pie I always add a side of grated carrots with a few raisins mixed it. It gives some extra filling and contains a variety of vitamins:
… and I could go on. Raisins, well they taste good. You can leave them out if you do not eat dried fruit 😉
Anyway, recipe coming up:
The Goodies:
Servings: 2 people without a side or 3 people with a side
- Pie crust from this recipe
- Follow steps 1 through 5 and 10 through 12
- 2 leeks
- 1 red bell pepper
- 250 g turkey bacon bits (uncooked)
- 1/2 zucchini
- 200 g cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 dl milk
- Grated mozzarella
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
- Sides: Grated carrots
The How:
- Turn your oven to 180°C
- Make your pie crust from recipe link above
- While the crust sits in the fridge for at least 30 minutes move onto preparing your filling
- Chop all vegetables into small bite sized pieces: Leek, bell pepper, zucchini
- Add to a pan with olive oil and fry for 5-10 minutes
- In a bowl, mix eggs, milk and cottage cheese and add salt and pepper

- Pour your milk/egg/cheese mixture over
- Drizzle with mozzarella
- Bake for approximately 40 minutes
- Serve with grated carrots (if you want to)
This piece of deliciousness freezes well, and can be made as a meal-preparation idea. I would actually think that this could be used for your kids lunch-box, and they would love you for it! You can really mix and pick whatever vegetables you like using, so try searching your fridge… you might just find a combination that beats mine! Enjoy!
