Ready-made puff pastry is a real find for those who love baking, but do not like to mess around with it for a long time. Crispy, airy, and most importantly - universal. After all, the options for what can be made from puff pastry are simply countless. Today I suggest baking a pie with a filling of zucchini fried with onions and garlic and hard cheese in an egg filling - an excellent option for lovers of snack savory pastries. When cooled, the filling of the pie is stable, so the cut is smooth and beautiful. Due to the fact that ready-made puff pastry is used, the process of making the pie is significantly simplified, and the result will please you with a thin base and a crispy edge with sesame sprinkles. The pie is soft and tender, with a light piquant note of garlic. It is very tasty!

Cooking steps

Step 1:

Take the frozen puff pastry out of the freezer in advance so that it becomes elastic. Turn on the oven to preheat at 200 degrees.

Step 2:

Peel the onion, cut into quarter rings. Wash the zucchini, cut into 3 mm thick circles.

Step 3:

Place the onions in a frying pan with heated vegetable oil. Add the garlic passed through a press. Stirring, sauté the vegetables until lightly golden.

Step 4:

Add the zucchini to the onions and garlic. Mix, continue frying the ingredients together until soft.

Step 5:

Put the vegetables in a deep bowl, cool to room temperature. Add 2 chicken eggs, coarsely grated hard cheese, salt and Italian herbs to the filling. Mix the ingredients until smooth.

Step 6:

Roll out the dough on a silicone mat or a work surface sprinkled with wheat flour into a 4-5 mm thick layer. Place the dough in a heat-resistant baking dish with a diameter of 24 cm, form the sides of the future pie.

Step 7:

Place the filling of vegetables, hard cheese and eggs on the dough.

Step 8:

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, forming curly sides. Using a culinary brush, grease the sides of the pie with milk and decorate them with sesame seeds.
