The Versatility of Pie: Savory Selections to Satisfy Your Cravings
When most people think of freshly baked pie, they have clear visions of sweet, flaky crust holding rich fruit filling served warm under vanilla ice cream that is just starting to melt around the edges. However, there are many varieties of pie to choose from, and not all of them are sweet treats reserved for dessert. Here are a few decadently savory pies for you to indulge in:
- Chicken Pot Pie
Whoever says that you can’t have pie for dinner certainly was not thinking of chicken pot pie. This dish begins with lean chicken simmered in thick gravy with generous helpings of broccoli, cauliflower, peas, carrots, potatoes, and sweet onions. The mixture is then poured into handmade Polly’s pie crust and baked to golden brown perfection. Your taste buds will surely be satisfied by the warm, creamy filling and tender, flaky crust.
- Quiche
The perfect fare for breakfast or an early lunch, quiche contains an egg-based custard filled with Applewood smoked bacon, sliced mushrooms, green onions, and a healthy handful of cheese. This is baked into an old-fashioned pie crust until the custard sets and the crust gets delightfully crisp. A slice of this breakfast confection is served alongside your choice of sausage or bacon. With a breakfast like this, you will be ready to face any day.
- Egg Custard Pie
If you are looking for a dessert with less sweetness than a traditional fruit pie, egg custard is an excellent choice. Although there is a hint of sweet flavor, the pie features a savory richness from the egg and a kiss of nutmeg.
