This is the recipe for Scrambled Egg Pie.
You will need the following materials and ingredients for 1 person (or two if you like to share):
- An individual size pie dish (or any type of individual heat proof dish) and some weights (like dried beans);
- 1 ready made shortcrust pastry;
- 2 medium (or 3 small) eggs;
- 3 tablespoons (tbsp) of milk;
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon (tsp) of chopped chives
- 2 or 3 basil leaves (one for garnish, the rest chopped)
- 1 tsp of oil
1 - Pre-heat your oven to 175º C., and start off by preparing the crust.
Butter or oil the pie dish. Cut the pastry in order to fit in the pie dish leaving a small edge (make sure you have enough crust for the base and to cover the pie) and pierce the bottom with a fork. Line it with aluminum foil, carefully to not pierce the dough any more, and place the weights on it. Take it to the oven for about 10 minutes.
2 - In the meanwhile crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, season with salt and give it a little whisk with a fork. Heat the oil in a frying pan and scramble the eggs to taste. After cooking the eggs, turn off the heat and set them aside.
3- After 10 minutes, take the crust out of the oven, take off the weights from it, and put it in the oven again to bake for 5 to 7 more minutes.
4 - After baking, take the crust out of the oven, put the eggs in the crust (save a little bit for garnishing), sprinkle with the chopped chives and basil and cover with a circle of the remaining pastry, making sure to tuck it in between the baked crust and the eggs (be careful not to burn yourself!). Brush it with a bit of milk, sprinkle with some Chinese Five Spice and, with a knife, cut a little X shape in the middle of the pastry (for the steam to come out). Place it in the oven again to cook the top of the pie (if you have a grill option in your oven, that would be the one to use, if not, reduce the heat to 150º C. and place the pie on the top shelf of the oven.
5 - The pie will be done when the top crust is golden brown.
6 - Garnish with the piece of scrambled egg and the basil leaf and enjoy!
