Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make puff pastry pie with meat? Prepare the ingredients for the filling. Any minced meat is suitable, I have pork and beef, you can take chicken, turkey, beef, pork. Take raw smoked or boiled smoked bacon. I used cherry tomatoes, but regular ones will do, and any cheese, hard, semi-hard, soft.

   How to make the filling? Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place the minced meat on it and, stirring constantly, fry it over moderate heat until cooked. This will take about 15 minutes.

   For the cakes, we will need puff pastry or puff-yeast dough (preferably in sheets - it’s easier to defrost and roll out) and vegetable oil to grease the parchment. Pre-defrost the dough by transferring it from the freezer to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Be sure to separate it into slabs to prevent them from sticking together.

10. STEP 10

    

    Roll out each sheet of defrosted dough on a floured surface to form two equal rectangles.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the first sheet of dough on a baking sheet lined with oiled parchment and make low sides. Brush the dough with sauce. I wanted the pie to be tall, so I put the dough in a baking dish.

    Distribute the minced meat evenly on top.
