Mum asked what I thought she should make for Easter this year.
Louis and I distinctly remember her making a pie last year which had whole eggs baked inside.
She didn't remember and seemed to think the recipe I found a lot of effort.
"How many eggs?" "12". "That's a lot!" "One for each Apostle. Oh and it's got 33 layers of pastry. One for each year of Christ's life." APPARENTLY the symbolism of the different elements in the pie give it as many layers of Easter significance as there are layers of dough in the crust.
Mum doesn't believe in Christ or my instructions it seems as she only used five eggs and one layer of bought puff pastry. And served it with cous cous..
Here's the basic recipe.
Filling : combine cooked diced onion, cooked spinach once you've made a bit less wet, Parmesan ricotta cheese, 3 eggs mixed in to the mixture.
Put in pot lined with 12 layers pastry. Make little wells for the 12 eggs.
Put pastry lid on and cook.
