Mr. Owen's Leek Pie
1999 Finalist
| 10 | White Castle hamburgers |
| 2 lbs. | leeks or Bermuda onions |
| 6 | tbsp. butter |
| 6 | eggs |
| 2 cups | sour cream or no-fat yogurt |
| 1/2 cup | sherry or 1 cup beer |
| 1 tsp. | salt |
| 1/2 tsp. | freshly ground pepper |
| 10 | White Castle pickles, chopped |
| 1 | egg white, slightly beaten |
Take the buns from burgers and knead them into dough. Roll flat and press into two 9-inch pie tins. Add onion from hamburgers. Preheat oven to 450°. Skin and slice leeks or onions. Melt butter in saucepan. Stir and cook leeks/onions in butter over low heat until clear. In a separate saucepan, combine eggs, sour cream/yogurt, sherry/beer, salt, pepper and pickles. Stir this mixture into leeks/onions. Brush bottom of pie shells with beaten egg white. Fill shells with the mixture. Bake pies at 450° for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300° and bake pies for about 30 minutes until crust is brown. Before removing pies, arrange 5 burgers on top of each pie to warm without cooking.
