To Make A Tavern Pie:
-
Place 1 cup of Boursin filling in the center of each pie shell, leaving approximately 2” of the edge free of filling.
-
Bring the edges of the pie shell up over the filling (leaving the center open with the Boursin filling exposed), crimping the edges so they overlap and create a circle.
-
Brush the exposed pie dough of each tavern pie with egg wash.
-
Bake for 30 minutes.
