Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out the 1 puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut into 4 equal rectangles.

  2. 2

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb ground beef and 1 diced onion until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in 1 tsp dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Spoon the beef mixture onto half of each pastry rectangle, leaving a border. Fold the other half over and press edges with a fork to seal.

  4. 4

    Beat 1 egg and brush over the tops of the pies. Cut small slits for steam to escape.

  5. 5

    Bake for 15-18 minutes until pastry is golden and puffed. Let cool 2 minutes before serving.
