Sausage And Egg Picnic Pie Recipes

SAUSAGE PICNIC PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180°C fan bake.
• Mix all of the filling ingredients together with your hands.
• Line a tin with baking paper then puff pastry.
• Fill with the mixture then cover the top with a criss cross of pastry and pinch at the edges.
• Use a pastry brush to glaze the top with whisked egg or milk.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden and cooked through.
• Serve hot with a salad for dinner or serve it at a picnic warm or cold.

SAUSAGE AND EGG PICNIC PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Place 4 of the eggs in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 3 minutes for soft-boiled. Plunge the eggs into a bowl of cold water and leave to cool completely before removing the shells. Set aside.
• Split the sausages, remove the skin and break up the sausagemeat into small pieces, then place in a bowl. Squeeze as much juice as possible from the grated apple, then add the apple to the sausagemeat. Mix with all the remaining ingredients, except the remaining egg and the pastry, seasoning with a little salt and plenty of ground black pepper.
• Unroll 1 sheet of the pastry onto a large, lightly greased baking sheet. Arrange half of the sausage filling down the centre of the pastry, leaving a 5cm border, then arrange the whole peeled eggs in a row on top, lengthways. Top this with the remaining filling and shape with your hands to make a rectangular shape, measuring about 14cm x 26cm.
• Crack the remaining egg into a bowl and beat gently. Brush some over the edges of the pastry. Unroll the other sheet of pastry and drape over the sausage filling and press down well to seal in the filling. Trim the pastry and crimp around the edges with a fork, or between your thumb and forefinger. Brush the top of the pie with the remaining egg and make a hole or several slashes in the top to release the steam. Chill for at least 10 minutes, then bake for 55 minutes-1 hour until golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and set aside to rest for about 10-15 minutes before cutting into slices. Serve with the green bean salad.

PICNIC PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter 2 x 20cm springform tins or deep, loose-based tart tins. Cut one-third of the pastry off each block. Roll out the smaller pieces of pastry, then cut a circle from each to make the top of the pie - use a tin base as a template. Roll out two-thirds of the pastry from each block and line the tins, leaving a good amount of excess hanging over the edge.
• Mix the sausagemeat with the apples, onions and thyme, and divide into 4 portions. Line each pie with 4 slices of ham and spread 1 tbsp mustard over the ham in each pie. Add a quarter of the sausagemeat to each pie and press down to level it. Add another layer of ham and mustard to each, then the rest of the sausagemeat and level off the tops.
• Put the pastry lids on top and brush with beaten egg. Fold the excess pastry over and press gently. Trim off any wodgy bits to make the lid look as attractive as possible. Brush again with beaten egg and cut a steam hole in the centre. Bake for 50 mins or until a skewer pushed in through the steam hole comes out very hot. Cool in the tin for 15 mins, then release the sides of the tin and cool completely on a rack (still on the bases). Serve cold, cut into wedges with pickles and salad. Or slide off the base and wrap tightly in foil, then cling film and freeze.

IMPOSSIBLY EASY SAUSAGE BREAKFAST PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray.
• In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage, bell pepper and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink; drain. Mix sausage mixture, potatoes and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Spread in pie plate.
• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, pepper and eggs until blended. Pour into pie plate.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese; bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or just until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

PICNIC SAUSAGE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cook and stir sausage in a skillet over medium heat until crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
• Spread pizza dough evenly onto a 9x13-inch baking sheet; sprinkle with sausage and mozzarella cheese. Roll the dough around the sausage and mozzarella, using the method similar to rolling a cinnamon roll. Crimp the roll closed; place seam side down on baking sheet. Brush the roll with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.

SCOTCH EGG PICNIC PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the flour and butter into a food processor and process to fine crumbs. Add 2-3 tbsp cold water and pulse until it forms a firm dough. Tip out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly to form a smooth ball. Roll out and line the base and sides of a 21-22cm deep flan tin or 20cm springform cake tin. Trim the edges and chill the tart case while you prepare the filling.
• Put the eggs in a small pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 4 mins. Cool quickly under running cold water and peel off the shells.
• Chop the parsley and thyme. Tip the sausagemeat into a large bowl and add half the herbs, a little salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Press a third of the sausagemeat over the base of the pastry case and make a circular trench in the sausagemeat. Trim the ends off each egg and line them up to form a ring of egg, then cover with the remaining sausagemeat, forming a smooth dome and making sure the eggs are completely covered.
• Mix the remaining herbs with the breadcrumbs and oil, and sprinkle evenly over the pie. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hr until the pastry is golden, the filling cooked and the topping crisp and golden. If there are any juices bubbling around the edge of the pie, carefully tip them into a jug and discard. Leave the pie to cool in the tin. Will keep in the fridge for a few days. Take to the picnic still in the tin covered in foil or cling film, and serve cut into thick slices with cornichons and salad, if you like.
