Equipment

  • 1 Oven
  • 1 Pie Pan 24 cm

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 150 gram wheat flour
  • 50 gram rye flour
  • 100 gram butter room temperature
  • 2 pcs. egg

Pie Filling

  • 1 pcs. Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 200 gram Ground beef
  • 1/2 pcs. Squash
  • 1 pcs. Red bell pepper
  • 5 pcs. Cherry Tomatoes
  • 50 gram Sundried tomatoes
  • 70 gram Tomato Puree
  • 1 gram Oregano dried
  • 1 gram Thyme dried

Egg Mixture

  • 2 pcs. Egg
  • 50 gram Milk
  • Salt a little

In addition

  • 1/2 ball Buffalo Mozzarella sliced

Instructions

Pie Crust

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) fan.
  • Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them well with a hand mixer with dough hooks.
  • Knead on a floured board until the dough is smooth and elastic, but not sticky.
  • Put the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes, then roll it out to a crust and place it in a pie dish dusted with a little flour. I used a 24 cm form. Any excess dough that goes over the edges can be trimmed off.
  • Poke holes in the crust with a fork and cover it with chickpeas or similar. This helps the crust keep its shape during baking. Pre-bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes.

Beef Filling

  • Finely chop the onion and garlic and sauté in a pot with a little butter. Add the meat and sauté until browned.
  • Coarsely grate the squash and chop the bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes into small cubes. Add to the pot along with tomato purée, oregano, and thyme. Stir well and let simmer for a couple of minutes.
  • Remove the chickpeas from the pie crust and distribute your filling on the crust.
  • Mix eggs, milk, and salt together and pour over the beef filling.
  • Bake your pie for 25 minutes in the oven. About 5 minutes before it's done, spread the mozzarella on top so it has time to melt.
  • Serve with a green salad and enjoy
