Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at your local supermarket, neighborhood butcher shop, or farmers market. Ensure you select fresh eggs and high-quality ground beef for the best results.
Preparation
- 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 meat while stirring well until all the moisture has evaporated
- Season with salt and pepper to your taste
- Turn off the heat
- Incorporate the chopped hard-boiled eggs into the mixture
- Let the filling cool completely before using
- This prevents the pastry dough from becoming soggy or tearing
Notes
A perfect filling needs to be quite dry so it does not break the pastry dough. The secret is to ensure the meat is well-browned and completely cooled before assembling.
