Description

Ingredients
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp dried rosemary
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
– 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. – In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
3. – Stir in the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Let the filling cool slightly.
4. – Unfold the puff pastry sheet and place it in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the sides.
5. – Spoon the beef filling into the pastry-lined dish.
6. – Roll out the remaining puff pastry to fit over the top of the pie. Crimp the edges to seal.
7. – Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
8. – Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg.
9. – Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
10. – Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the filling. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or peas for a traditional Scottish meal.
