Where to find ingredients
Find the ingredients in the fresh produce section, the meat counter, and the pantry aisle of your local supermarket or market. If you do not have cooked eggs on hand, boiled eggs made ahead can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan
- Sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan
- Cook the beef, stirring well, until all the moisture has evaporated
- Season with salt and pepper to taste
- Turn off the heat and fold the chopped hard-boiled eggs into the mixture
- Let the filling cool completely before using it to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy or tearing
Observations
A great filling needs to be quite dry so it does not tear the pastry. The key is to make sure the beef is well sautéed and completely cool before assembling.
