black pudding

🥗Healthier: vegetarian sausage

💰Cheaper: mushrooms

Vegetarian sausage offers a similar texture, while mushrooms are more economical.

cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option, while processed cheese is often less expensive.

shortcrust pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: store-bought pastry

Whole wheat adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Roll out the shortcrust pastry and line a pie dish with it.

Prick the pastry base with a fork and blind bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden.

Sauté chopped onion and garlic in a pan until softened, about 5 minutes.

Remove the casing from the black pudding and crumble it into the pan with the onions.

Cook for 3-4 minutes until the black pudding is heated through.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, milk, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

Spread the black pudding mixture evenly over the baked pastry.

Pour the egg mixture over the black pudding and sprinkle with cheese.

Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the filling is set and golden on top.

Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
