One bite will remind you of the allure of a just-baked savoury pie. While many argue over what is the most delicious pie in the world, all savoury pies are glorious in our eyes. From that golden pie crust to the warming pie filling, pie recipes are made for comfort cooking.
The pastry might consist a sturdy shortcrust base with a puff pastry top like in Bourke Street Bakery’s traditional meat pie; light and feathery for a turmeric and ginger chicken fillo pie; or take the form or a free-form olive-oil pastry casing as used in our three-cheese pie recipe. Sometimes, pastry is left out altogether, as in our shepherd’s pie recipes. Throw in a pot pie or quick and easy pie recipes and you have ample pie recipes to make each season. Just keep the pie filling simple and homely, and you’ll be rewarded with a good pie in no time.
Here are our best savoury pie recipes.
