Ingredients

Two rolls of puff pastry

Two handfuls of spinach

250g bacon

400g chakalaka

1 red onion

250g mushrooms

100g feta cheese

100g cheddar cheese

100g mozzarella cheese

1 egg

1/4 cup of milk

Instructions

  1. Allow the dough to defrost at room temprature, then roll it out on a clean surface.
  2. Spray your Megamaster folding grid with a non-stick cooking spray, and arrange the pastry on the folding grid. Add another layer of pastry on the opposite side of the folding grid, make sure both pastries are aligned with each other and enough to fold over the filling.
  3. On your Megamaster 260 Cast Iron round pan braai the red onion and bacon until crispy. Let them cool slightly.
  4. Chop the leftover meat, spinach, cheese, peppers, and mushrooms. Set aside for later.
  5. Lay half of the spinach at the base of the pastry layer. Top with leftover meat, bacon and onion mixture, and mushrooms.
  6. Top with chakalaka.
  7. Add the three types of cheese with the remaining spinach on top of the chakalaka.
  8. Close the folding grid ensuring that the second layer of pastry covers the filling. Fold the edges of the pastry to seal the pie completely
  9. In a separate bowl mix the milk and egg together. Brush the top layer of pastry with the egg mixture for a golden, crispy finish.
  10. Place the pie on the Megamaster Explorer Portable Charcoal Braai, away from direct heat of the coals. Turn the pie regularly to ensure it braais evenly.
  11. After about 20 minutes the pie should be golden brown on the outside.
  12. Cut the pie into slices and enjoy!
