Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 60 minutes
Total time: 80 minutes
Number of servings: 6-8 servings
Necessary ingredients:
- 400 g puff pastry
- 4 large eggs
- 2-3 small yogurts (preferably Nutriday, but any natural yogurt will do)
- 300 g smoked neck, diced
- 150 g smoked sausage, sliced
- 100 g chicken ham, diced
- 100 g grated telemea cheese
- 100 g grated cheese
- 1 can of sliced mushrooms (approx. 250 g)
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley, chopped
- Herb-flavored salt (optional)
- Hot chili powder (to taste)
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons of oil (for sautéing)
To start:
1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. This will ensure that the pie bakes evenly and gets a crispy crust.
2. Prepare the baking tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper so that the pie does not stick and is easy to remove after baking.
3. Prepare the ingredients: In a pan, add the oil and sauté the smoked neck and sausages for a few minutes until they become slightly crispy. This adds a special flavor to the pie.
4. Mix the composition: In a large bowl, beat the 4 eggs, then add the yogurts. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Add the neck, sausages, mushrooms, grated telemea, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and chili. Mix well to integrate all the ingredients.
5. Assemble the pie: Place the puff pastry in the prepared tray, leaving the edges to hang slightly. Pour the filling composition over the dough, then level it evenly across the surface. Place the diced chicken ham on top and sprinkle the grated cheese.
6. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the pie becomes golden and the filling sets.
7. Cooling and serving: After baking, let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting it. Although it is delicious warm, the yogurt pie can also be served cold, alongside a garlic yogurt sauce or a fresh salad.
Useful tips:
- Customization: The pie can be easily adapted. Try adding vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers for a vegetarian version or replace the meat with smoked fish for a different taste.
- Complementary sauces: Serving with a yogurt sauce with dill or a spicy tomato sauce can add extra flavor and freshness.
- Why yogurt?: Yogurt not only provides a creamy texture but also adds nutritional benefits, being a good source of protein and probiotics.
