How do they put the boiled egg all the way through a pork pie with egg in?

Answer 1

live in Indiana, but I am originally from a small New England town. My great grandparents came from Canada and settled in New England to work in the factories. One of the great recipes they brought with them is Pork Pie. This is one dish my family always has on Christmas Eve. It is a great comfort foodduring the long winter months. # Step 1 # In a large frying pan, cook the pork, ground chuck and onions stirring to break up the meat. Continue cooking until the meat is completed cooked and the onions are softened. # Step 2 Stir all of the spices and water into the meat mixture. Put a cover on the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Take the cover off the pan and simmer for 10 more minutes. # Step 3 Mix the mashed potatoes into the meat mixture and allow to cool completely. Prepare enough pie crust for 2 pies. I usually use the refrigerated pie crust which works well. Put the pie crust into a 9" pie plate. Put half of the meat mixture into each pie plate, top with pie crust and crimp the sides. # Step 4 Brush the top of the pies with egg wash (egg yolk mixed with a little water)and cut a vent hole into the middle of each pie. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. At this point I check the edges of the pie crust. If they have browned, I cover them with aluminum foil to prevent them from burning. Bake the pies for another 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees. You can serve the pies while hot or cool them and freeze them. To cook the pie from frozen, heat the oven to 350 degrees and cook for 45-60 minutes. == * 2 lbs. ground pork * 1 lb. ground chuck * 2 medium-large onions, chopped * 3 cooked and mashed potatoes * 2 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning * 2 teaspoons salt * 2 teaspoons pepper * 1/2 teaspoon ground sage * 1 cup water * pie crust for two pies * frying pan with cover * Two 9 inch pie plates

Answer 2

A hard boiled and shelled egg is placed on top of a layer of the pie filling and the remainder of the filling packed round and on top then the pastry lid is put on and the pie baked. This is more commonly done with Veal and Ham pies. A true Pork Pie contains only chopped (not ground) Pork.

The pie is 'built up' by the chef, first the pie mould is lined with pastry then a layer of minced pork meat is added to the bottom of the pie, the shelled hard boiled eggs are added, then more meat is stuffed down each side to keep the eggs central, a final layer of meat covers the top of the eggs, the pie is topped with pastry and baked, magic.
