Clever Easter Mini Pies. The perfect recipe for Easter and Easter Monday.
These mini pies are a single-serve version of the classic Easter pie, perfect for enhancing your Easter table with taste and originality.
The secret of this recipe lies in the use of raw spinach, which avoids the cooking step, making the preparation even simpler and faster. The whole quail egg, on the other hand, provides a scenic effect and a delicate taste.
These mini pies are a great alternative to Easter savory croissants, the puff pastry sunflower with ricotta and spinach, and also the olive puff pastry bunnies.

Steps
Wash and dry the spinach leaves. Place them in a chopper and chop them finely. Add the ricotta, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper and blend until a cream is obtained.
Unroll the puff pastry and use a cookie cutter to cut out discs large enough to line aluminum baking cups.
Grease the molds or use a release spray.
Place the puff pastry discs in the molds, prick the base with a fork, and fill them with some spinach and ricotta filling.
Create a hollow and gently crack a quail egg over each mini pie, leaving it whole.
Slightly cover the egg with some more filling and, with the leftover pastry, cut out strips.
Place the pastry strips over the mini pies, alternating them to create a woven lattice pattern.
Remove the excess dough, seal the edges, and brush the surface with beaten egg yolk.
Bake and cook for 20 minutes at 356°F.
Our clever Easter mini pies are ready. Remove from oven and let them cool slightly before taking them out of the molds.
Enjoy!

FAQ
Can I prepare the mini pies in advance?
You can prepare them the day before and store them in the fridge. To enjoy them at their best, warm them slightly before serving.
Can I cook the mini pies in an air fryer?
Yes! Cook the mini pies in an air fryer at 338°F for about 12-15 minutes, checking the browning. Every air fryer may vary slightly, so I recommend trying one mini pie to find the ideal time.
Can I add other ingredients to the filling?
Of course! You can enrich the filling with bacon, cooked ham, or melty cheese for a more flavorful variation.
