Mediterranean Pie image

This is a delicious savoury pie guaranteed to impress at a special breakfast or brunch! Its a favourite of Karen Brimacombe, one of the authors of the Best of Bridge series! Its too large a large pie for just the 2 of us - so I made half the recipe this morning in a Corning baking dish; it required 60 minutes of baking time. Editted to add comments: Since it would be easier to serve from a springform pan, I recently purchased a half-sized one from Dollarama!

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
2 sweet red peppers, diced
2 small onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen spinach, thawed & squeezed dry (I use my ricer)
2 (14 ounce) packages frozen puff pastry, thawed
12 ounces black forest ham, sliced
1 lb mozzarella cheese, grated
8 eggs, beaten & seasoned with
salt & pepper
1 egg, beaten (for glaze)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in skillet over medium heat; cook peppers, onions & garlic for about 12 minutes or until all liquid evaporates.
  • Remove from heat & stir in spinach; set aside.
  • Roll each piece of pastry to 1/8 inch thickness; use 1 piece to line a 10 inch springform pan, leaving excess draped over sides.
  • Layer half the ham slices in the bottom, sprinkle half the cheese, spread half the veggies followed by the eggs.
  • Repeat these layers.
  • Cover with remaining pastry, trim off edges & pinch layers together; cut steam vents in the top & brush with egg glaze.

  • Reduce heat to 350F and bake for an additional 45 to 60 minutes or until top is golden & knife inserted in centre is hot when pulled out.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes; remove pan sides & cut into wedges.
