Start by cooking the heart of palm in boiling water for about 15 minutes after draining it.

In a separate pan, melt 1 tablespoon of margarine and add 1.5 tablespoons of flour to make a roux.

Gradually add in 350 ml of milk while stirring to avoid lumps, cooking on low heat until it thickens.

Add 200 g of requeijão to the thickened sauce and mix well.

Once the heart of palm is cooked, drain it and add it to the white sauce, mixing until combined.

Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and adjust to taste if necessary.

For the dough, mix 80 ml of milk with 250 g of margarine and half of a beaten egg, reserving the other half for brushing later.

Add 500 g of flour to the mixture and combine until you have a firm dough, without needing to knead it.

Press 450 g of the dough into the bottom of a 30 cm round pie dish, ensuring a good base.

Pre-bake the crust at 200°C for 15-20 minutes until set.

Roll out the remaining dough to cover the top of the pie, using plastic wrap to help shape it.

Once the crust is pre-baked, fill it with the heart of palm mixture, ensuring it's well filled.

Cover the pie with the rolled-out dough, sealing the edges by pressing them together and trimming any excess.

Brush the top with the reserved beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake the pie in the oven until golden brown, using the option to just brown the top.
