Ingredients

1 portion of shortcrust pastry
375g minced pork
100g cheddar cheese, grated
1 medium egg
1 small head of broccoli, chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tbsp oil
½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp dried, crushed chilli
Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

Step 1: Heat the oil in a large frying pan, then add the onions and fry on a medium heat until golden, then add the minced pork and garlic and mix well. Then add the broccoli and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Step 2: Combine the egg, oregano, chilli, and grated cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste, then add the mixture to the pork and broccoli and cook for approx. 1 minute, stirring regularly until the egg mixture is set.
Step 3: Divide the pastry in half and roll out, then use the double-sided pastry cutter to cut the base and top - each half will make 2 pies.
Step 4: Line each pie mould in the preheated pie maker with a pastry base and add the filling just below the rim, then add the pastry top and close the pie maker to cook the pies for 10 minutes until well browned.
Step 5: Once cooked, switch off the pie maker and use a heat-resistant plastic or wooden spatula to remove the pies from the pie maker and serve.
