Bacon and Mozzarella Pie
4 servings
40 minutes
Bacon and mozzarella pie is an amazing combination of juicy bacon, tender mozzarella, and aromatic herbs. Although it is attributed to Thai cuisine, it has a European touch due to Italian ingredients. The flavor of the pie balances the rich creaminess of the cheese with the spiciness of the bacon, complemented by the freshness of basil and the acidity of tomatoes. The puff pastry gives it airiness and lightness. It is perfect for a cozy dinner, festive gathering, or simply enjoying with family. The aroma that fills the kitchen during its preparation awakens appetite and anticipation for a delicious treat. It can be served as a standalone dish, complemented by a light salad or a glass of red wine. This pie is an example of how simple ingredients transform into true gastronomic pleasure.
