Where to find ingredients
Look for the flour and oil in the baking aisle and the mayonnaise, egg, and fillings in the chilled section or deli counter. If needed, use any cooked shredded chicken, minced meat, or mixed vegetables as a substitute filling.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the all-purpose flour
- Gradually incorporate the remaining flour, mixing with your hands until you get a smooth dough that does not stick
- The dough should have a slightly crumbly texture
- Line a baking pan with half of the prepared dough, covering the bottom and sides well
- Add the chosen filling over the dough base
- Cover the filling with the other half of the dough, spreading it evenly
- In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with the oil
- Brush this mixture over the entire surface of the pie
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden and the dough is completely cooked
