A savoury pie is a type of pastry dish filled with various ingredients, typically including meat, vegetables, and cheese. Unlike sweet pies, savoury pies are designed to be a main course rather than a dessert. Common examples include shepherd's pie, pot pie, and quiche, each featuring a crust that can be made from shortcrust, puff pastry, or other doughs. These pies are often baked until golden brown and can be served hot or cold. They are popular in many cuisines around the world, with variations reflecting local ingredients and traditions. Savoury pies are enjoyed for their hearty flavors and versatility, making them a favorite comfort food.
