Pastry week on “The Great British Bake Off” seems like a good time to break out this wonderful Fish Pie recipe.
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 200 deg. C., 400 deg. F., Gas Mark 6.
- Peel and dice the potatoes and boil in salted water for about 25 minutes, until soft.
- Drain, then add the butter and a little milk, if needed. Mash and season to taste.
- Put the pâté in a saucepan with the cream. Stir to make a sauce while heating gently.
- Break up the fish, removing any skin, and put into the pâté to cook for about 7 minutes.
- Spoon the fish mix into the bottom of single pie dishes; you want them about two-thirds full with the fish. Allow this to cool.
- Top the fish mix with a layer of mashed potato. Brush the tops of the mashed potato with melted butter.
- To make the breadcrumb topping, add all the ingredients to a blender and mix for 5 seconds.
- Sprinkle a tablespoon of the crumb mix over the pies and put in the oven for 20 minutes until the top has turned golden brown.
