For an enhanced flavor profile, consider marinating the ground beef in a mixture of red wine vinegar, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking. To prevent the bottom crusts from becoming soggy, par-bake them for 5 minutes before adding the filling. If you're feeling adventurous, experiment with different cheese combinations, such as adding a sprinkle of Parmesan or Gruyère along with the feta.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the sliced onion until softened, approximately 2 minutes. Add the lean ground beef and brown lightly, then drain any excess fat.
02
StepStir in the diced tomato, garlic powder, ground coriander, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is evenly browned, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
03
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
04
StepRemove one thawed pie crust from its pan and gently roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into four 6-inch circles. Place these circles on a lined baking sheet and lightly brush with beaten egg.
05
StepEvenly distribute the feta cheese (about 1/4 cup per circle) onto each pastry round. Top with the prepared beef mixture, leaving enough room around the edges to seal the 'pockets'.
06
StepRemove the second thawed pie crust from its pan and roll it out on a lightly floured surface, mirroring the previous step by cutting it into four 6-inch circles. Brush one side of each circle with beaten egg.
07
StepCarefully place these circles, egg-side-down, on top of the prepared pie circles. Pinch the crusts together to create a secure seal around the edges. Utilize any dough scraps to mend holes or tears in the pie 'pockets'.
08
StepBrush the tops of the pies with beaten egg and create a small slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
09
StepBake in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes, or until the pies are thoroughly cooked and have achieved a beautiful golden-brown color.

Mar 5, 2025I've made these several times now, and they always come out perfectly. The key is to make sure the edges are sealed well to prevent any filling from leaking out.
