Looking for a delicious and savory treat that's sure to impress your family and friends? Look no further than these delectable Savory Feta Pies! This mouth-watering recipe is perfect for those who love the rich, tangy flavor of feta cheese combined with the hearty goodness of ground beef. With a prep time of just 15 minutes and a total cooking time of 50 minutes, these pies are easy to make and serve up to 4 people.

Each pie is packed with 774 calories, making it a satisfying and filling meal for any time of day. The recipe calls for a variety of spices, including cayenne pepper, garlic powder, ground coriander, and dried oregano, which infuse the dish with a delightful array of flavors. The crust is made from frozen pie crusts, which are thawed and rolled out before being filled with a mixture of feta cheese and seasoned ground beef.

To make these savory pies, simply heat some olive oil in a frying pan and sauté sliced onions until they are soft. Add the ground beef and brown it slightly before draining any excess fat. Stir in the tomato, spices, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook until the meat is evenly browned. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while you prepare the pie crusts. Cut each crust into four 6-inch circles and place them on a lined cookie sheet. Brush the circles with beaten egg and add feta cheese and the beef mixture, leaving enough room to seal the dough pockets.

Once the second pie crust is rolled out and cut, brush one side of each circle with egg and place it, egg-side-down, on top of the prepared pie circles. Pinch the crusts together to seal around the edges and brush the tops with egg. Make a small slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape, and bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and golden brown.
