The joy of the meat eater
Greek minced meat pie, a recipe that even beginners can master, will appeal to those who love meat and puff pastry pie recipes. It’s very simple: fry the onion with 500 g of ground beef, cut into cubes 200 g of cheese and chop the greens. When the minced meat cools, add the cheese with herbs and 2 beaten eggs.

Fish-pig companion
Finnish chefs offer us a recipe for a fish pie. Knead the dough from 3 tbsp. l. wheat flour, 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil, 3 tbsp. l. water and salt. Roll out the layer and put in the middle of 1 tbsp. l. raw rice, and on top-pieces of fish (whitefish, salmon or perch) in two layers, flavoring them with salt and pepper. Cover the fish with bacon and wrap the edges of the dough, forming a pie in the form of a loaf of bread. Sprinkle it with rye flour, grease it with oil and send it to a preheated 225 °C oven for 30 minutes. Then we take out the cake, wrap it in foil and return it back for another 4-5 hours, reducing the temperature to 120 °C. This creation may well add to your collection of pie recipes in the oven. Before serving, you can flavor the pie with cheese.
Potato Sketch
The Irish recipe for potato pie is fraught with a hearty filling. Prepare the dough from 225 g of flour, 150 g of butter, raw eggs and 1-2 cups of water, wrap it with a film and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. In a deep baking dish, put 255 g of chopped boiled potatoes with herbs, then a layer of 3 boiled eggs, 500 g of fried pork and another potato layer. Roll out the dough and cover the filling with it, forming the sides. Put the pie in the oven at 200 °C for 20-25 minutes. And so that it does not burn on top, after 10 minutes we cover it with foil. Cool the finished cake and turn it over on a platter.
Happiness is in the cabbage
Russian cuisine is rich in delicious pies. These clearly include the cabbage pie, the photorecepts of which are available on our website. For it, a yeast dough of 1 kg of flour, 400 ml of milk, 40 g of yeast, 300 g of butter and 2 tsp of sugar is suitable. While the sourdough is suitable (30-40 minutes), we will do the filling. Finely chop the cabbage, put it in a saucepan, add salt and pepper and pour 150 ml of cream. Simmer the cabbage until it softens, then add a little butter and 5 chopped boiled eggs. Part of the dough is rolled out in a layer, put it on a baking sheet and distribute the filling. We cover it with a second layer and fasten the edges. Grease with egg yolk and put in the oven at 180 °C for an hour.
Improvisations with classics
Charlotte, invented by the French — is an eternal culinary hit. In some ways, it resembles our pie with apples and jam, the photorecepts of which you can also find on the portal “Healthy Food Near Me!”. In a deep bowl, beat 3 eggs with a mixer with 3 tbsp. l. sugar, add 3 tbsp. l. any jam, 2 tbsp. l. sour cream and again beat all the ingredients. Gradually introduce 200 g of flour and at the end put a little soda. The dough will turn out quite liquid. Part of it is poured into a baking dish, greased with oil, and pour in 3-4 crushed apples. Then pour out the second part of the dough and put the charlotte in the oven for 35 minutes at a temperature of 200 °C.
Cherry Feast
One of the best additions to tea is cherry pie, a recipe that everyone can make. And for special occasions, you can make a Viennese strudel with cherries. Knead the dough from 150 g of flour, 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil, 80 ml of water and a pinch of salt, then roll into a ball and leave to rest for 30 minutes. Then, on a wide towel, sprinkled with flour, we roll it out into a wide thin layer. Lubricate it with melted butter, sprinkle 3 tbsp. l. ground breadcrumbs, 100 g of sugar, 50 g of crushed almonds and spread 500 g of cherries. Roll the dough into a roll, pinch the edges on the sides, transfer to a baking sheet and grease with egg. It is recommended to bake the strudel for 40 minutes at a temperature of 180 °C.
Cheesecake in the Russian way
Cheesecake, very popular in America, can be prepared at home in a simpler version. After all, in fact, this is a recipe for cottage cheese pie. At the heart of this cheesecake is a recipe for a shortbread pie, more precisely, a shortbread cake, baked not completely, but until golden brown. We make it from 250 g of flour, 125 g of margarine and 1 tbsp of sugar. rub 500 g of cottage cheese and whisk with 2 eggs, 125 g of sour cream and 3 tbsp sugar. Now we put the half-finished cake in a baking dish, put the curd filling on top and tamp it. We send the cheesecake in the oven at 160 °C for an hour. Before serving, you can decorate it with berries or fudge.
Of course, the recipes of pies from different countries of the world are not limited to the proposed options. If you have something to add to our piggy bank of recipes, we will be very happy.
