Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
02 -
Grease a pie dish or pie tin thoroughly with unsalted butter.
03 -
Press the puff pastry sheets firmly into the dish, ensuring all seams are sealed to prevent leakage.
04 -
Prick the base of the pastry a few times with a fork to prevent bubbling. Sprinkle half of the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the pastry base.
05 -
Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl with a fork. Pour gently over the cheese-lined pastry base.
06 -
Evenly distribute the sliced red onion, semi-dried tomato pieces, sliced mushrooms, ham, and salami over the egg mixture. Reserve the fresh herbs.
07 -
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top of the filling mixture.
08 -
Bake in the center of the oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden, the eggs are set, and the top is well-browned.
09 -
Allow the pie to cool briefly. Garnish with fresh basil, oregano, or thyme. Slice and serve hot, or allow to cool completely for use in lunchboxes or picnics.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure seams in the pastry are sealed to prevent leaks. For best results, allow the pie to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to maintain structure.
