Tips, food safety & substitutions
Food safety: cook the mince fully before filling, and bake until the pastry is golden and the egg filling is set. Allergen: egg, wheat. Substitute beef mince for chicken, or use only egg with onion and tomato for a meat-free filling. Seal the edges well so the filling does not leak. Nutrition values are estimates.
