Ingredients for Savory Pie with Potatoes and Speck
- 1 sheet puff pastry (round)
- 12.3 oz potatoes
- 3.5 oz smoked scamorza cheese (or provolone)
- 3.2 oz speck
- to taste rosemary (or thyme)
Steps for the Savory Pie with Potatoes and Speck
Let’s start right away with a hot pan where we will brown the speck cut into strips with a drizzle of oil. After browning the speck, add the peeled potatoes cut into cubes.
Let the potatoes cook with the speck for a few minutes until they are slightly toasted. Do not add salt, as the speck is already salty.
Now unroll the puff pastry in a baking tray with its parchment paper and prick it with a fork. This will prevent it from puffing up during baking.
Pour the contents of the pan into the puff pastry, and add the cubed scamorza or provolone cheese. Sprinkle with spices you prefer, such as rosemary or thyme.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward and brush them with a bit of milk.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 375°F for about 20 or 25 minutes.
Tips, Variations, and Storage
The puff pastry savory pie is the perfect go-to for a quick, tasty, and impressive dinner. It is also the fastest solution to use up what is about to expire in our fridge. You can get creative, filling it as you like:
– zucchini and ricotta
– beaten eggs and mixed vegetable cubes
– ricotta, eggs, and asparagus
– pumpkin, potatoes, and spices
The possibilities are endless. 🙂
Puff pastry should not be frozen as it loses its fragrance and texture, so I recommend consuming it fresh.
