"Simple, simple, simple! Just throw it in the oven and jump in the shower." That's how food stylist Toni Brogan described this savory pie, a favorite in her native New Zealand. And it really is that easy—just line a pan with puff pastry, fill it up with onions, thinly sliced potatoes, and, in place of the usual bacon, prosciutto (left over fromRavioli with Green Beans and Prosciutto), then crack some eggs on top and cover with more pastry. By the time everyone is out of the shower, the pie is ready to come out of the oven, all golden and flaky on the outside, layered with deliciousness on the inside. Though it's traditional to serve the pie with ketchup, we love it with some spicy chutney on the side.
Ingredients
Makes 6 to 8 servings (breakfast or brunch)
Step 1
Put a baking sheet in middle of oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
Step 2
如果在1块面团,切成两半。推出每一piece into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with 1 piece of dough, draping it slightly over sides.
Step 3
Stir together onions, oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and spread in an even layer over dough. Top with prosciutto. Peel potato and thinly slice (about 1/8 inch thick), then arrange in one layer over prosciutto, overlapping slightly. Crack eggs on top of potatoes, gently arranging yolks so they don't touch one another. Season eggs with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Step 4
Cut several slits in remaining pastry square and lay over top of pie, then crimp edge and trim.
Step 5
Bake until pastry is golden brown and puffed, 50 to 60 minutes.

Back to TopAltered recipe for 2 people: I split ingredients in half, and baked it in a 9 x 3 in bread loaf pan instead. Perfect amount for brunch for two! I also used pancetta and baby red potatoes instead of the original ingredients. I added some oregano just under the top pastry crust, but i feel it could have had even more flavor and might even benefit from some cheddar cheese as the final layer before the crust.

I don't understand the purpose of preheating a baking sheet. Is it to help the bottom crust bake?

Because some are fussy about the 'doneness' of eggs, try beating them and pour over the potato layer. This method might not make for a flakey bottom crust.

I made this for our weekly work meeting. While this was good, it didn't blow everyone out of the water. Prepare yourself to be patient for the frozen pastry, let it thaw, and fix it if it breaks--no biggie. It is a simple dish, very European. Decadence would be adding cheese, which this does not. Soup it up with some real Italian prosciutto and not domestic. It's actually quite fun to make, cracking the eggs and making them behave themselves. Be wary of those that are picky about their eggs. The community pan always seems to make some uncomfortable even if the eggs aren't runny--who knew?
