Blogger’s tip 🧀
For a perfect savory pie, prick the base with a fork before filling it, so it doesn’t puff up too much while cooking. If you want an extra touch, sprinkle some parmesan on top before baking: it gets even more golden and crispy!
You can replace the speck with ham, bacon, or grilled vegetables, and the provola with scamorza or well-drained mozzarella.

FAQ 5-MINUTE SAVORY PIE clever recipe
Can I use shortcrust pastry instead of puff pastry?
Of course! It will be slightly crunchier and less buttery, perfect if you prefer a more neutral taste.
Can it be prepared in advance?
Yes, you can make it and store it in the fridge already cooked for a couple of days. Just reheat it in the oven or air fryer for 5 minutes.
Can I freeze the 5-minute savory pie?
Absolutely yes! It’s better frozen raw: just take it out and bake it directly, it comes out perfect.
Can it be made in an air fryer?
Yes! Cook it at 350°F (180°C) for about 12-15 minutes: incredibly crispy and ready in no time.
How can I make it lighter?
Replace provola with light cheese or ricotta, and speck with vegetables: zucchini, spinach, or cherry tomatoes are great options.
