Note

For best results, ensure the beef and mushrooms are cooled before mixing with eggs to prevent the eggs from scrambling prematurely.

You can add seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, or fresh herbs to the egg mixture for extra flavor.

Serve immediately while hot and crispy. These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.

If the mixture is too loose, add a tablespoon of breadcrumbs or flour to help bind the pies.
