Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 45 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 5 minutes Number of servings: 8 Necessary ingredients - 1 package of thin pie sheets (400 g, Bella brand is an excellent choice) - 3 small yogurts (140 g each) - 4 eggs - 250 g pressed ham - 100 g bacon (thin slices) - 200 g cheese - 150 ml oil - 2 bell peppers - a few sprigs of parsley - 1 packet of baking powder - butter the size of a walnut (for greasing the pan) - salt and pepper to taste Preparing the ingredients 1. Ham and cheese: Cut the pressed ham into small cubes so that it easily integrates into the pie mixture. Grate the cheese on a large grater so that it melts evenly during baking. 2. Bell peppers: Slice the peppers thinly to add a note of freshness and color to the pie. 3. Parsley: Finely chop a few sprigs of parsley to give it a flavorful taste and pleasant texture. Preparing the mixture 1. In a large bowl, put the 4 eggs and the 3 yogurts. Use a whisk to homogenize the ingredients until you obtain a uniform mixture. 2. Add the baking powder and oil, continuing to mix. This will make the pie fluffy and airy. 3. Incorporate the chopped ham, grated cheese, sliced bell peppers, and chopped parsley. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients. Assembling the pie 1. Pie sheets: Breaking the sheets into appropriately sized pieces is essential for achieving an even texture. Gradually add them to the mixture, mixing well to coat them with the egg and yogurt mixture. 2. Baking dish: Grease a heat-resistant glass or ceramic dish with butter and line it with a pie sheet or flour to prevent sticking. 3. Taste: Don’t forget to season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. This will make a difference in the end. Baking 1. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula. 2. Sprinkle some leftover pie sheet pieces and neatly arranged bacon slices on top, like twisted roses. 3. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about 45 minutes, or until the pie is golden and firm to the touch. Serving After the pie has baked, let it cool slightly before cutting it into servings. You can serve it warm, but it is just as delicious cold, making it ideal for enjoying on various occasions. Serving suggestions and variations - Serve with a green salad: A fresh salad with cherry tomatoes and lemon dressing will perfectly complement the pie. - Add spices: You can experiment with spices like smoked paprika or oregano for a more intense flavor. - Vary the filling: Instead of ham, you can use cooked chicken, feta cheese, or even grilled vegetables for a vegetarian option. Nutritional benefits This pie is a good source of protein due to the eggs, ham, and cheese, while the yogurt provides beneficial probiotics for the digestive system. The bell peppers add essential vitamins, such as vitamin C. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use other types of cheese? Absolutely! You can use mozzarella, goat cheese, or any other preferred cheese. 2. How can I store the pie? The pie stores well in the refrigerator, covered, for 2-3 days. You can reheat it in the oven to regain its crispy texture. 3. Is it suitable for vegans? This recipe is not vegan, but you can adapt the ingredients using tofu or vegan cheese, replacing the eggs with plant-based mixtures. Now that you have all the necessary information, all that’s left is to start cooking! I invite you to savor every bite of this delicious pie and delight your loved ones with a recipe that combines tradition with innovation. Enjoy your meal!
