Ingredients

For the Pie Filling
4 large eggs

1 onion, peeled & thickly sliced
2 cloves
1 bay leaf
450ml milk
300ml fresh cream
450g hake
225g smoked haddock
50g butter
3 Tbsp self-raising or cake flour or White Onion Soup Mix
5 Tbsp freshly chopped parsley
pinch of nutmeg
salt & pepper, to taste


For the Mashed Potato Topping
1¼kg potatoes
1 large egg yolk
150ml milk
50g butter
salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

Method

For the Pie Filling
Boil the eggs in boiling water for 10 mins & set aside to cool.

In the meanwhile, place the onion slices, cloves, bay leaf, milk, cream, hake & haddock in a large saucepan.  Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 mins.
With a slotted spoon, remove the fish & onions onto a plate.  Discard the cloves & bay leaf and reserve the liquid into a jug.
Break the fish up into large flakes while discarding any skin & bones.
Spread the flaked fish & onions over the base of large ovenproof casserole dish.

Peel & roughly chop the eggs & sprinkle over the fish.

Over a fairly high heat, melt the butter in the same saucepan and whisk in the flour.  Add the reserved fish liquid while constantly stirring and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat & simmer for 5 mins.
Season with the parsley, nutmeg, salt & pepper.  Pour the sauce over the fish & eggs & once cooled, rest in the fridge for 1 hr to chill & set.

For the Mashed Potato Topping
Peel & dice the potatoes & boil for 15 mins until soft.  Drain & mash with the egg yolk, milk & butter. Season with salt & pepper.

Pie Assembly
Spoon the mashed potato over the pie filling & bake in the oven for 30 mins until golden brown.

Banting/LCHF
Use White Onion Soup Mix instead of flour to thicken the filling.
Use Cauli Mash instead of mashed potato topping.
