Noodle Pie
Description
This hearty Noodle Pie is a comforting classic that transforms simple ingredients into a satisfying meal. Layers of tender flat noodles are combined with savory ham slices, tangy sour cream, and aromatic minced onion, all encased in a golden, flaky pastry crust. The dish offers a delightful contrast between the crisp exterior and the creamy, rich interior. It is an excellent choice for weeknight dinners when you need something substantial yet easy to assemble, or as a make-ahead meal for gatherings. The flavors meld beautifully during baking, creating a warm, home-style experience. Serve it hot from the oven for maximum comfort, or let it cool to serve cold as a picnic-friendly option. This versatile recipe is perfect for using up leftover cooked noodles and ham, making it both economical and delicious.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
-
Line a 9-inch pie pan with the bottom sheet of pastry. Refrigerate until well chilled.
-
Heat the milk in a small saucepan until warm but not boiling. Pour over the cooked flat noodles in a large bowl and let soak for 2-3 minutes.
-
Drain the noodles in a colander, pressing gently to remove excess liquid.
-
Cut the butter into thin slivers. Slice the ham into thin strips if necessary.
-
Spread one-third of the drained noodles evenly over the chilled pastry in the pie pan.
-
Layer one-third of the ham over the noodles.
-
Dot with one-third of the butter slivers. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of minced onion, and a generous sprinkling of black pepper.
-
Repeat the layers twice more, ending with a layer of noodles.
-
Cover with the top sheet of pastry dough, sealing the edges securely.
-
Prick the top crust several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
-
Bake at 400F (200C) for 10 minutes.
-
Reduce heat to 325F (160C) and continue baking for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is light golden brown.
-
Let cool slightly before serving. Can be served hot or cold.
