Description
An easy afternoon meal or evening meal with a side salad. Use whatever ingredients you have available in the fridge. I made this to clean out and use up those bits and pieces as I hate to waste and through away any food.
Ingredients
- 200g Tenderflake puff pastry
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 3–4 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 small head of broccoli, cut into small florets
- 5 medium sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 chopped red pepper
- 1 heaped tbsp garlic
- 1 Chicken thigh
- 2 Chicken drumsticks
- 4 X-large Eggs
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 237 ml carton of cream
- 125g herb and garlic cream cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar Cheese
- Basil
- Thyme
- Rosemary
Instructions
Pastry
- I cheated and used storebought, Tenderflake puff pastry for the Crust.
- Defrost it by leaving it out on the countertop.
- Sprinkle a Silpat mat lightly with flour and roll out the pastry the size of
your dish. - Spray or paint the bottom of your dish with oil and then drop the pastry in the
base and set it aside.
Filling
- Heat the butter in a pan and sauté broccoli florets, mushrooms, red pepper, and garlic until just tender.
- Add the shredded meat (pre-cooked) to the mixture set it aside and let it cool down.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, cream, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and add the cheese at the end.
- Add Basil, Thyme, and Rosemary spices to taste and mix through.
- Pour this egg mixture directly on the unbaked pastry and then spoon in the veggie and meat mixture and spread it out evenly in the dish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180C / 350F for an hour.
- Test with a skewer and when it comes out clean when inserted it should be done.
- The middle should be set, and not jiggly.
- Remember it will continue to good slightly when you remove it from the oven, so do not overcook it.
- Remove your dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve with a fresh salad as a full meal.
