Perfect savory pies: a few tricks

First of all pay attention to the filling which must never be too liquid. If you use boiled or even cooked vegetables in a pan, drain them very well. Same thing goes for mozzarella. Take it out of the refrigerator a few hours before to make it lose all its fluids.
Attention also to cooking. Savory pies risk never baking well at the base. Cover the cake with aluminum foil after about 30 minutes of cooking and activate the oven function to have the heat only from the bottom. A trick that always works!
