FAQs

How long do you cook a frozen tourtiere? ›

Conventional oven

Preheat oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Remove frozen pie from plastic wrapping and place in oven on middle rack. Heat for 60 minutes, or to your liking. For best results, let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Cooking Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush crust with one more yolk. Place frozen pie in oven for 90 minutes. For a darker golden crust after 90 minutes, increase oven temp to 400 degrees and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until desired color is reached.

Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Remove pie from plastic wrapping and place in oven. Heat for 40 minutes, or to your liking.

To reheat from frozen, do not thaw first. Place cooked pie onto a baking sheet directly into 350F degree oven for 40-45 minutes, until centre of pie is hot when tested.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place frozen pie(s) on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, for easier clean up if the pie bubbles over the edge. Place in the lower third of your oven at this temperature for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, reduce heat to 325 degrees for 60 minutes.

You can cook a pie from frozen right without thawing it out. In fact, it's better to bake frozen pie directly out of the freezer. You'll need to bake a frozen pie that's uncooked for about 55 minutes, while frozen pre-baked pie will take 30 to 35 minutes to reheat.

DO NOT DEFROST THE PIE BEFORE BAKING! Be strong, put the FROZEN pie directly into the preheated (or heating) oven. I use pyrex for all my pies. I can't guarantee that a pyrex/glass pie pan has never broken going from freezer to oven but it's never happened to me.

Do not thaw the pie. Unwrap the pie and bake it at 425ºF (220ºC) for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 375ºF (190ºC) and bake it for an additional 30 to 45 minutes or until the centre is bubbly.

Family size pies and quiche

If frozen, heat for 35-40 minutes or until hot throughout. Cooking temperatures and times are a guide only as ovens will vary.

Traditionally, Tourtière is served with roasted vegetables or a light frisseé salad. An assortment of pickled foods is always delicious; pickled beets, spicy carrots, gherkins or pickled onions. Many enjoy a tomato-based chutney but most… just break out the ketchup.

Is it better to freeze a meat pie, baked or unbaked? ›

You can freeze Meat Pies either baked or unbaked. Either way, when you want to bake the Pies, you can bake them off frozen. They will, however, take a little longer to bake then the time stated in the recipe.

As the breadcrumbs and the broth help add moisture to this recipe, added fat is an unwanted quantity that tends to make the tourtiere fall apart when cutting and also is just not very pleasant.

This pie freezes well, either before or after baking. Either way, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before baking or rewarming. Some tourtière makers substitute chicken broth for the water/potato water in the filling. if that's your preference, reduce the salt in the filling accordingly.

Cooking Instructions
