The hamburger steak inside is made with Parmesan cheese and grated garlic, giving it a richer, full-bodied flavor than regular hamburgers. The sweetness of the pre-boiled potatoes and the spicy minced meat combine to create a mild flavor that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike.

Christmas Reese Pie (Full Version, Serves 4-5)

material

Filling

• 300g minced pork
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese + extra for topping
• 1 clove garlic (grated)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
• 20g breadcrumbs
• 1.5 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 egg
• 20g frozen green peas (thawed)
• 20g frozen corn (thawed)
• Black pepper to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

others

• 1 sheet (375g) of frozen pie dough (whole wheat flour recommended)
• 1/2 egg (for glazing)
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
• 2-3 bay leaves
• Olive oil (as needed)

How to make it

1. Preparation: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Thaw the green peas and corn, then pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.

2. Making the filling: In a large bowl, combine 300g ground pork, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 1 clove grated garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 20g breadcrumbs, 1.5 tablespoons milk, 1/2 egg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well until sticky. Finally, add 20g green peas and 20g corn and mix lightly. Season with black pepper.

3. Preparing the pie dough and shaping the wreath: Lightly roll out one thawed pie sheet into a square. Draw an 8cm diameter circle in the center (do not actually cut it out), and make eight radial cuts from the center of the circle. Arrange the filling in a donut shape and place them side by side.

4. Shaping and decorating the wreath: Carefully fold each of the eight pieces of pastry dough towards the center, enclosing the filling and potatoes. Lightly overlap the edges of adjacent pieces to seal and shape into a beautiful wreath. Adjust the shape so that the hole in the center is about 6 cm in diameter.

5. For the finishing touch, carefully brush the entire surface of the pie with a glaze made by thoroughly mixing 1/2 egg and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard. Decorate the wreath beautifully with a sprig of rosemary lightly coated with olive oil and 2-3 bay leaves, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top if desired.

6. Bake in a preheated 180°C oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown. If the surface starts to brown too much in the first 15 minutes, lightly cover it with aluminum foil to adjust the browning.

Cooking Tips

If the potato slices are too thin they will crumble, but if they are too thick they will not cook properly, so 5mm is ideal. Allowing the parboiled potatoes to cool completely before slicing will help them maintain their shape. When wrapping the potatoes in the pie crust, it is important to fold them carefully so they do not slip. Also, draining the green peas and corn thoroughly will prevent the finished product from being watery.

This Christmas pie is both visually stunning and delicious, making it a perfect dish for any special occasion. It will surely add a touch of elegance to your Christmas table.

Frozen pie dough is fine. Using pie dough made with cultured butter will give the cake an even richer flavor.
