Lattice Sausage Pie Recipes

BACON LATTICE BREAKFAST PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange 5 strips of the bacon in parallel rows on a baking sheet lined with parchment, the edges of the slices touching but not overlapping. Working with 1 strip at a time, arrange the remaining strips perpendicular to the first ones, weaving the strips over and under to form a lattice.
• Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Roll the puff pastry into a 12-inch square and press into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared dish. Trim the edges that overhang with a paring knife. Whisk the eggs, half-and-half, cheese, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Pour into the puff pastry shell. Bake the bacon lattice and the eggs until the bacon is just starting to crisp and the eggs are still jiggly in the center but slightly set, about 15 minutes.
• Use two spatulas to lift the bacon lattice and place it on top of the eggs. Continue baking until the bacon is golden brown and crisp and the eggs are set, about 25 minutes. The eggs will be very puffy (they will deflate as the pie rests). Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

SAUSAGE PIE

Steps:

• To make filling-.
• In a large pan, brown sausage meat until no longer pink. Place in colander and rinse with water to remove excess fat. Drain well and cool.
• In a large bowl, mix ricotta and eggs until well blended. Add grated cheese, mozzarella and parsley. Add cooled sausage meat. Mix well and set aside while making crust.
• To make crust-.
• Mix flour, margarine and 8 eggs until dough is formed. Knead a few minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. Divide dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece large enough to fit a 10" pie plate. Fill pie shells with sausage filling and cover with top crust. Seal top and bottom crust with beaten egg; pinch and seal crust. Brush top of pies with beaten egg and bake at 350F for 50 minutes. Pie should be deep golden brown.
• This pie tastes best served at room temperature or chilled. (Do not re-heat in microwave, pie becomes watery).

IMPOSSIBLY EASY ITALIAN SAUSAGE PIE

SAUSAGE PLAIT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Grease a baking tray with oil using a pastry brush, then cover it with baking parchment. Put to one side. Remove the meat from the sausage skins by snipping off the ends, then squeezing the sausagemeat into a bowl (see step 1).
• Cut the pepper into small pieces with scissors. Break the egg into the cup, beat with a fork, and save 2 tbsp for glazing. Add the red pepper and remaining egg to the sausagemeat with the chilli flakes, if using, and purée. Mix well with a fork or clean hands (step 2).
• Sprinkle some flour on the work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry into a rough square shape, about 30 x 30cm. Put the pastry on the lined baking tray (step 3).
• Now spoon the filling down the middle of the pastry in a sausage shape - leave a little gap at the top and bottom (about 3cm) (step 4).
• Cut the pastry at a slight diagonal, on either side of the filling, into 1.5cm strips, the same number each side - we cut 12 strips each side. Brush the pastry all over with most of the saved egg (step 5).
• Tuck the top and bottom edges of the pastry over the filling. Starting at the top, lay the pastry strips over the filling, taking one from each side, to cross like a plait. Now brush the top all over with the last of the egg. Bake for 35-40 mins or until golden. Serve hot or cold with baked beans or salad (step 6).
