Puff Pastry Pie with Cheese and Eggplant
Description
The pastry is easy and quick to make. I must admit, I picked up this simple puff pastry pie with cheese and eggplant from the TV show "Smak." On television, the pie looked very beautiful and appetizing, and they praised it lavishly, sparing no compliments. As it happened, I had all the necessary ingredients in my fridge. And if this dish had been as complicated to prepare as most dishes shown on cooking shows, I probably would not have made it, but the simplicity of the recipe won me over. Literally in half an hour I made the pie — I liked it very much, and even my very picky and selective husband was very pleased. I hope you will enjoy it too :) Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
