🧂 Ingredientes
- 500 g White fish fillets(such as cod or haddock, cut into chunks)
- 2 large Leeks(white and light green parts only, thinly sliced)
- 50 g Butter
- 50 g All-purpose flour
- 300 ml Milk

👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9-inch pie dish with one sheet of pastry. Prick the base with a fork.
- 2
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Do not brown.
- 3
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the milk and cream until a smooth sauce forms. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- 4
Gently fold in the fish chunks, chopped dill, salt, and white pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is just starting to flake.
- 5
Pour the fish and leek mixture into the prepared pie crust. Cover with the second sheet of pastry, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.
- 6
Brush the top pastry with the egg yolk. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- 7
Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
💡 Dicas Profissionais
