Instructions

Before you start

  • Defrost 3 sheets flaky puff pastry. Spray a round pie dish or baking dish with oil spray. Preheat the oven to 200 °C fan bake. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

Cook filling

  • Peel and finely dice ½ brown onion. Peel and mince 4 cloves garlic. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frypan on medium-high heat. Cook the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add 500 g beef mince and cook for 4 minutes, breaking up the lumps with a wooden spoon. Add ¼ cup tomato paste and crumble in 1 cube beef stock and cook for 2 minutes.

Make pie

  • Line the prepared pie dish with the defrosted pastry, ensuring up the sides is covered. Spoon the filling into the dish and smooth out. Layer over 40 g gherkins, evenly spread over ¼ cup burger sauce, and grate over 100 g cheddar cheese. Place a final sheet of flaky puff pastry over the top and pinch the edges with your fingers or use a fork to crimp. Whisk 1 egg in a small bowl, then brush it over the pastry. Sprinkle over 1 tbsp sesame seeds.

Bake pie

  • Bake the pie in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and cooked.
    Tip: If you're making individual pies cook for 15-20 minutes. For one family-sized pie cook for 20-25 minutes.

Bake fries

  • Cook 750 g frozen shoestring fries on the prepared oven tray according to packet directions.
    Tip: Time it so they finish cooking at the same time as the pie.

To serve

  • Slice and divide the Big Mac pie between plates. Serve with the shoestring fries and tomato sauce on the side.
