Recipe Tips
- To make the crust extra flaky, use cold butter and handle the dough as little as possible.
- For a crispier crust, brush the top of the pastry with an egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon of water).
- For a dairy-free version, use olive oil or vegan butter instead of regular butter.
- To add more flavor, try adding different herbs and spices to the filling, such as sage, rosemary or nutmeg.
- For a lower-calorie version, use low-fat milk or cream instead of heavy cream.
