Method

  1. To make the Gorgonzola and Bacon Savory Pie, start by unrolling the puff pastry and cutting it in half with a fluted pastry wheel: transfer the pastry to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and prick the surface all over with the tines of a fork. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper, set a baking pan on top and bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 15 minutes: after ten minutes, remove the parchment paper and the pan and finish baking.

  2. Once ready, take the pastry rectangles out of the oven and let them cool. Drain the artichokes and put them in a food processor with some thyme and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil: blend until you have a smooth cream and, if needed, add more oil. Set the sauce aside and move on to the next step.

  3. Cook the bacon slices in a nonstick skillet without adding any fat. Spread the artichoke cream over the pastry, leaving a one-centimeter border, then evenly distribute the bacon slices and the diced gorgonzola. Slice the onion into rings and cover everything with them: sprinkle with pepper to taste and finish with a drizzle of oil.
