Layered meat pie
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. Meat pies can be made with yeast dough or flaky pastry, or even with yeast-free puff pastry. For making flaky meat pies, I use half pork and half beef mince (this way it's not too fatty). The pie also turns out very tasty with chicken or turkey. You can prepare the dough yourself using a recipe from the website, but I decided not to bother and bought ready-made dough instead. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

While the dough is thawing, don't waste time—prepare the filling. Slice leek and onion into half-rings; you can chop the onion into small cubes if you prefer. Sauté them in a small amount of oil in a frying pan until golden and translucent.

Slightly sauté the ground meat until it browns, but do not fully cook it. Otherwise, the pie will turn out dry. Stir the meat constantly, breaking up lumps with a fork or spatula.

Step 10
Seal the edges, leaving a small hole in the center (so the dough doesn't become soggy and the juice can evaporate). Beat the egg and brush it over the pie to make it shiny.
