Marry me pie
The pie you’ll want to get married to!
This one pot pie inspired by the viral Marry me recipe is the perfect quick and easy dinner that is not only delicious but packed with protein and nourishing vegetables. And I can promise anyone that tries this pie will want to marry you becasue it is so delicious!
While this pie is filled with the classic marry me ingredients (sundried tomatoes, onion, spinach, cream, and spices), I’ve added my own twist and susbtiuted the chicken for halloumi cheese which offers an excelent veggie alternative packed with protein and more flavour.
Marry me recipe went viral for a good reason and it is that it is creamy, and packs such a flavour punch with the sundried tomatoes and spices. The crispy puff pastry of the pie really elevates this recipe to another level as it proides a great constrast of texture.
This recipe is a crowd pleaser and you can make it for a dinner party or half the amount in this recipe for an easy dinner for 2 people! You only need one pan and about 45min and very little prep and effort to make it.
