Simple fish pie recipe

method:

Place the fish in a fry pan and add about 400ml of milk. Stud each of the onion quarter with a clove, now add them to the milk, including the bay leaves. Boil the milk – if you see little raising bubbles, adjust down the heat and simmer for 9 minutes. Then lift the fish on top of a plate and pour the milk in a jug to cool down. Flake the fish in large pieces into the baking dish.

Boil a small pan of water, then carefully drop the eggs in it with a spoon. Boil the water again, with just a few of bubbles rising to the surface. You can set your time to 9 minute for it, cook, now filter the water and cool the egg in cool water. Peel the back of the egg, and slice it and then arrange it on top of the fish, and scatter all over the chopped parsley.

Melt about half of the butter in fry pan, mix in the flour and then cook it for about 2 minutes using an average heat. Remove it from the heat, add it a little of the cold poaching milk and stir until it is merged well. Repeat the adding of milk little by little until it becomes smooth. Put on the oven and cook it for 5 minutes, consistently stirring it until it coats the back of the spoon. Then take it out of the oven, season it with a salt, grinded pepper and nutmeg, and pour the fish over.

Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes. Then filter after done, season and crush it with the butter and milk. Top the pie with it, beginning from the edge of the dish to the other and shift the mash right to the edges to seal. Pat its top with a fork or knife, splash with cheese and bake for about 40 minutes. A day ahead could be fine, cool, then bake for 50 minutes.

Bring it down and serve everybody.
