Instructions

  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  13. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
