pascualina

Uruguay · Latin America

Short description: This savory pie is usually sliced to reveal greens and whole eggs inside a flaky crust.
Ingredients: Pastry dough filled with chard or spinach, whole eggs, ricotta or grated cheese, onion, and nutmeg.
Cultural note: It reflects immigrant-influenced home and bakery cooking, where a vegetable pie can work as a light main meal.
Common misconception: It is not the same as a plain spinach quiche; whole eggs baked inside the filling are a signature feature.
