Meat Pie Mince & Cheese

Meat Pie Mince & Cheese is a savory pastry with seasoned beef and cheese. This dish is a true classic from New Zealand, where people eat it as a snack, lunch, or just because they feel like it. The puff pastry becomes deliciously crispy, while the filling remains warm and creamy thanks to the melted cheese. It's not a fancy dinner, but just good food that's easy and works at any time of the day.

What is a meat pie?

A meat pie is a savory pastry with a meat filling, wrapped in puff pastry. In New Zealand and Australia, they are an integral part of the street scene. You can buy them at gas stations, bakeries, and cafes, and they are often eaten on the go. The filling usually consists of beef seasoned with pepper, onion, and herbs. The mince and cheese variety also contains cheese, which melts during baking and makes the filling a little creamier. The pastry is baked until golden brown and has a crispy texture. This contrast with the warm filling makes meat pies an accessible and hearty snack. They are not haute cuisine, but that is precisely why they are so popular: deliciously simple and easy to eat. Meat pies have now become popular outside New Zealand too, because they are easy to make and always hit the spot when you're craving something savory.
