Can you believe we are almost in May?
No, nor could I when I had to pull on my wellies and Winter coat for a refreshing hike yesterday… refreshing being the operative word. We experienced sunshine, rain, hail, thunder, snow and then more sun again, all on the same day and there was only one thing for it… comfort food!
Thankfully I have several Holland’s pies in my freezer, which take 3-4 minutes to cook from frozen in the microwave, so my go to was the Cheese and Onion Bigger Chippy Pie. Available from a chippy near you, these pies are now packed with 25% more filling… something that was definitely needed yesterday!
Holland’s Pies really are offering consumers more at the moment… hot on the tails of the recently launched Micro 2 Go Slices, not only do the Chippy pies contain 25% more filling, but there has been another new pie range launch!
All hail the Micro Pie – convenient, delicious, even crispier and offer the same oven baked taste – available in two scrumptious flavours. The Chicken, Leek & Bacon Micro Pie includes tasty British & Irish chicken, sliced leeks and smoked bacon, seasoned with pepper, parsley and thyme, in a creamy sauce, baked in Holland’s new microwavable shortcrust pastry. The Steak & Ale Micro Pie includes slow cooked tender prime steak in a light ale gravy, baked in Holland’s microwavable shortcrust pastry.
Available in over 400 Tesco stores around the UK, you can pick up the individually packaged Micro Pies from the frozen section for a RRP of £1.50. The susceptor packaging technology allows the pack to crisp the pastry during the cooking process creating an oven-baked taste in just four minutes… perfect for those who are hungry!
To celebrate the launch, Holland’s Pies and Sim’s Life have teamed up to offer viewers the chance to win 10 Micro Pie of each flavour… a total of 20 pies to fill your freezer! Simply enter using the Gleam entry form below and answer the question by leaving a blog comment below…
