The French call it galette, the Italians crostata. Whatever you prefer to call it, this rustic open-faced pie is one of the easiest, quickest pies you can make. Topping options are almost endless. You can go sweet – think blackberry and apple, strawberry and rhubarb, apricot and raspberry... Or you can go savoury like we have. The topping options for savoury crostatas are limited only by your imagination. We combined store-bought rotisserie chicken with buttery leeks and mushrooms for ours. For extra yumminess we added some mozzarella cheese. The result? A deeply satisfying pie that is just perfect for mid winter.

Bacon, potatoes, sour cream and chives lovingly wrapped in a blanket of buttery puff pastry… Sound like pie heaven? It is and it's so easy to make!
