Indulge in a scrumptious pie filled with smoky bacon, tender leeks and a delightful surprise of sweetcorn – perfect for picnics or lunch on the go.

Cook time: 30 mins

Serves: 4

Cooking Skill: Easy

Ingredients

2 dry cured smoked bacon or gammon steaks, cut into cubes (about 200g each in weight)
1 tablespoon rapeseed Oil
2 leeks, washed, halved and sliced
200g low fat or light cream cheese
Black pepper, to taste
1x 225g can sweetcorn, drained or if frozen about 260g
1x 500g pack prepared puff pastry
2 tablespoons milk and 1 egg, beaten to glaze

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C, 180°C Fan, Gas Mark 6.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the bacon or gammon and leeks and cook until the bacon has changed colour and the leeks are beginning to soften.

Step 3

Add the cream cheese and combine together well. Heat through and allow to thicken slightly for about 2-3 minutes. Season, and add the sweetcorn. Transfer to a large 1 litre pie dish.

Step 4

Roll out the pastry to a size that will roughly cover the dish – decorate the edge with a pattern (a good effect is to use the edge of a small round glass) and, if you wish, cut out shapes to decorate the top of the pie. Brush the pastry with the milk and egg glaze.

Step 5

Place in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and well risen.

Step 6

Serve with a selection of seasonal green vegetables.
