Recipe to make meatball Wellington using pie crust instead of puff pastry
Last Updated on
Making a meatball wellington is a great way to change up your regular meatball dinner. This dish is made by wrapping meatballs in a puff pastry, and then baking them. But what if you don’t have any puff pastry on hand? Can you still make a meatball wellington?
The answer is yes! You can make a meatball wellington using pie crust instead of puff pastry. This dish will be just as delicious, and you won’t have to go to the store to buy anything special. Here’s how to do it:
Start by making your meatballs. You can use any recipe you like, or even just use store-bought frozen meatballs. If you’re making them from scratch, cook the meatballs according to your recipe.
While the meatballs are cooking, roll out your pie crust. If you’re using a frozen crust, let it thaw first. Once the crust is rolled out, use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out circles that are about 4 inches wide.
When the meatballs are done cooking, let them cool for a few minutes so you can handle them without burning yourself. Then, take each meatball and wrap it in a piece of the pie crust dough. Pinch the dough together at the top to seal it closed.
Place the wrapped meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Enjoy your meatball wellington!
Here are a few tips for making the perfect meatball wellington:
If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought frozen meatballs instead of making them from scratch. Just be sure to cook them according to the package directions before wrapping them in the dough.
You can use any kind of pie crust for this recipe, including pre-made ones that you buy at the store. Just be sure to roll it out thinly so it doesn’t overpower the meatballs.
Feel free to get creative with the filling! If you want, you can add some shredded cheese or chopped vegetables to the meatballs before wrapping them in the dough
