  • Instructions

    1

    Heat olive oil in a large frying pan on medium-high and cook the leek for 10 minutes or until soft and translucent.

    2

    Add the bacon and cook for another 5 minutes.

    3

    Now add the flour and mustard and cook for a few minutes stirring well so every piece of leek and bacon is coated with a little flour.

    4

    Pour in the stock and thyme and bring mixture to a bubble. Reduce heat and cook, stirring for 5 minutes or until mixture has thickened.

    5

    Remove from heat and stir through the cream.

    6

    Line a greased pie tin with flaky pastry and reserve and re-roll trimmed pastry for the lid.

    7

    Stir chicken through the cream sauce and then put both the chicken mixture and lined pie tin in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.

    8

    Preheat oven to 200C

    9

    Place the chicken mixture into your lined pie tin. Gently place the 'lid' on top and poke a few holes in the top of the pastry to let steam escape.

    10

    For egg wash: beat egg and cream. Brush over the pie top.

    11

    Sprinkle with sesame seeds and either place in the fridge until needed (for up to 2 days) or bake straight away for 35-45 minutes or until golden.
