Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups leftover beef stew
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg
  • Fresh thyme or cracked black pepper (optional)

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spoon stew into a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Roll out puff pastry, drape over stew, press edges to seal, cut slits, and brush with beaten egg.
  3. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until pastry is puffed and deep golden.
  4. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice and serve with black pepper or thyme.

Notes

Use any thick, chunky stew. If the stew is watery, simmer it down before baking to avoid a soggy crust. The pot pie tastes best fresh from the oven.
