Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 2 packs of puff pastry, 275 g each
  • 500 g minced meat, mixed
  • 1 package of feta cheese, approx. 200 g, alternatively mozzarella
  • 1 ½ onions
  • 1 garlic clove(s)
  • 1 egg(s)
  • 1 bell pepper(s), red
  • salt and pepper
  • some olive oil for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Finely chop the onions and fry in a pan with a little olive oil. Add the minced meat. Let everything simmer gently over medium heat. Meanwhile, peel and deseed the bell peppers. Finely chop them along with the garlic clove and add them to the pan with the minced meat. Let everything simmer and season to taste. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/convection oven. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place a sheet of puff pastry on top. Crack an egg into a bowl and beat it lightly with a fork until the yolk and egg white are well blended. Spread the contents of the pan evenly over the puff pastry, making sure there is some space around the edges. Finely chop the feta or mozzarella and spread generously over the minced meat. Open the second sheet of puff pastry and cover the filling with it. Press the edges down with a fork. Using a brush or a paper towel, generously spread the egg over the puff pastry. Bake in the preheated oven on the middle shelf for about half an hour until the desired degree of browning is reached.
