SPICY BOERIE BREKKIE PIE
Serves 6
Hands-on time: 10 minutes
Hands-off time: 35 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 roll (400g) puff pastry, thawed
7 large eggs, room temperature
2 tbsp TABASCO® Red Pepper Sauce
¾ tub (172.5g) plain cream cheese, room temperature
100g cooked boerewors, sliced
½ cup sliced mushrooms
10 baby tomatoes
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
Serving suggestion:
Fresh basil
TABASCO® Red Pepper Sauce
Orange juice
METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C using the fan-assisted setting. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2. Unroll the pastry and place it on the lined baking tray.
3. Crack one of the eggs into a small bowl and whisk. Brush the whisked egg evenly over the pastry.
4. Using a sharp knife, gently score the edges of the pastry without cutting all the way through, leaving a 3cm wide border all around. Using a fork, lightly prick a few holes in the centre of the pastry.
5. Bake the pastry for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes while preparing the toppings.
6. Lower the oven temperature to 160°C.
7. Using your hands, gently press down the center of the puff pastry, ensuring the borders are still puffed.
8. Mix the TABASCO® Red Pepper Sauce and cream cheese together until combined and evenly spread the mixture over the cooled pastry, without going onto the border.
9. Scatter the cooked boerewors pieces, mushrooms and baby tomatoes on top. *Chef’s Tip: Great for using leftover boerie!
10. Break an egg into a small bowl and pour onto the tart. Repeat with the rest of the eggs. *Chef’s Tip: Fresh eggs work best!
11. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
12. Bake the pie on the bottom shelf for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking and the cheese has melted.
13. Garnish with some fresh basil leaves and cut the brekkie pie into portions. Drizzle over some more TABASCO® Red Pepper Sauce. Serve with some fresh orange juice and ENJOY!
