Supreme Pizza Pie Pastry

Supreme Pizza Pie is my go—to when I need all the best pizza flavors bundled into a cozy, sliceable meal. Whether you serve it hot from the oven or pack leftovers for an afternoon picnic, it hits every craving with melty cheese, savory meats, and crisp buttery pastry.

Every time I make this, it vanishes fast my family is never quite sure if it is breakfast or dinner but never says no to a second slice.

Ingredients

• Puff pastry sheets: Ensure a golden crisp crust and are effortless to work with I like to thaw them in the fridge overnight for best results
• Eggs: Provide a rich custard base that holds everything together Give them a quick mix just to combine
• Red onion: Brings a pop of color and subtle sweetness the fresher the onion the milder the flavor
• Semi dried tomatoes: Add tang and punch for the best flavor look for ones packed in oil
• Mushrooms: Make every bite hearty and earthy Pick firm specimens without dark spots
• Ham and salami: Deliver savory pizza flavors Go for sliced deli ham and your favorite spicy or mild salami
• Fresh herbs (like basil, oregano, or thyme): Give a hit of freshness right at the end Choose perky sprigs with no wilting
• Grated mozzarella: Gives that gooey stretchy finish Pre shredded works but grating yourself melts in even better

Instructions

Prepare the Pastry:

Gently press thawed puff pastry sheets into a well greased pie dish pressing joins firmly to avoid leakage Prick a few times with a fork so air pockets do not balloon the crust

Cheese the Base:

Scatter half the grated mozzarella evenly across the bottom This helps keep the crust crisp and starts that signature pizza flavor

Mix and Add Eggs:

Lightly beat your eggs just to combine Do not over whip Pour over the cheesy pastry base so it spreads into every corner

Add Your Toppings:

Layer red onion slices mushrooms semi dried tomato pieces ham and salami over the eggs Space toppings out for even bites Hold the herbs for now

Top with More Cheese:

Finish with the remaining mozzarella sprinkled all over so every bite gets gooey and golden as it bakes

Bake to Perfection:

Place your pie in a preheated 180 degree Celsius oven Bake 15 to 25 minutes until pastry is crisp and golden eggs have puffed and set and toppings look roasted on top

Garnish and Serve:

Scatter fresh herbs over the top right before serving Slice warm for dinner or let cool to pack for a lunch on the go

Mushrooms are my secret favorite here I love how their flavor deepens in the oven and soaks up all the other juices My niece once requested this for her birthday brunch and now it is the family celebration staple.

Storage Tips

Let leftover slices cool before storing Layer between parchment in an airtight container Refrigerate for up to four days or freeze for up to a month To reheat bake straight from the fridge at a moderate oven until warmed through Puff pastry stays crisper if reheated this way instead of the microwave

Ingredient Substitutions

Feel free to swap in your favorite pizza toppings Black olives roasted capsicum or spinach all work well Swap ham and salami for cooked chicken or keep it vegetarian with extra mushrooms and capsicum Vegan cheese and plant based deli slices also work if you need to avoid dairy and meat

Serving Suggestions

Serve hot with a crisp green salad for balance or spoon over a little tomato relish Fresh fruit is a nice touch if you are packing it for a picnic Cut small squares for party platters or large wedges for a hearty brunch

Cultural Context

Pizza pies reflect the idea of comfort food meeting portability Recipes like this started appearing in home kitchens when families wanted a twist on classic pizza without worrying about dough rise or stone ovens Kids love how every slice is different and it is always a conversation starter on the table

Seasonal Adaptations

Use roasted pumpkin and herbs in the fall for an autumn twist Try fresh tomatoes and basil in summer for brightness Add leftover roast vegetables in winter when you want something heartier

Success Stories

I once brought this to a church potluck doubting if it would keep well at room temperature It disappeared so quickly I did not even get a slice Several friends now request the recipe whenever a group brunch rolls around This has become my reliable choice whenever brunch needs to impress or comfort

Freezer Meal Conversion

To freeze assemble everything except the fresh herbs and bake as directed Let cool then wrap the whole pie tightly in foil and freeze Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat at 160 degrees Celsius for about twenty minutes before serving Add herbs fresh after baking

This pie brings all the comfort of pizza with the ease of a make—ahead meal. Try it for your next brunch or picnic and watch it disappear in minutes.
