Quick pie with canned fish

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a quick pie with canned fish? Prepare the necessary products. The recipe uses a mold with a diameter of 20 cm. Canned fish can be anything from pink salmon meat to sprat in tomato sauce. The recipe uses sardines in oil. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Melt the butter in a water bath or in the microwave.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a deep container, whisk two eggs with salt to taste. Save the third egg for the filling.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour melted butter into the beaten eggs and add sifted premium wheat flour. If the oil is too hot, let it cool, otherwise it will curdle when added to the egg mixture.

5. STEP 5

   

   Gently mix everything and knead a tight, plastic shortbread dough. Wrap it in cling film or put it in a bag to prevent the surface of the dough from drying out. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. This will make it easier to work with.

6. STEP 6

   

   Open a can of canned fish and drain the liquid along with the oil. Place the contents in a deep container and crack in a chicken egg. Wash the green onions, chop and add to the canned food. If desired, you can add onions or leeks instead of green onions. Mash the fish mixture into a puree and mix with the remaining ingredients. There is no need to add salt, as canned fish often contain a lot of salt.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the shortcrust pastry from the refrigerator, place in the pan and form the base by going up the sides. Try to make the layer as thin as possible so that the dish cooks faster.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the filling into the middle and spread evenly over the base with a fork or silicone spatula. Place the future pie in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

9. STEP 9

   

   Remove the finished pie from the oven and then from the pan. Be sure to let it cool, as hot baked goods will tear rather than cut.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cut the pie into portions. An excellent addition to it would be sour cream or thick classic yogurt. Bon appetit!

There's a reason why it's called a quick pie with canned fish - it doesn't really cook very quickly. The dough is kneaded in a matter of minutes from just three ingredients: eggs, flour and butter. The filling is also done instantly. And the pie bakes for another half hour. I kneaded the dough into eight servings. For the filling I used sardines (240 grams). But when I opened the jar, I discovered that, unfortunately, it was only half full. The other half was liquid. This amount of filling would not be enough for a pie for eight servings, so I only had to use half the dough. I froze the second one. In a hurry, you get a very tasty and satisfying pie. I was afraid that the filling would spread, but no, when slicing, the filling holds its shape. This makes the pie very convenient to eat. Thank you very much for the recipe!
