Sieve both the soft cheeses to make a smooth mixture. Beat in about 2 Tbls. each  coarsely chopped parsley, mint and chives to make a prettily green flecked mixture. Add  salt, pepper and the milk.  Use half the pastry to line a pie plate measuring about 8 1\/2 inches across the top. Put the  cheese mixture into it, make four hollows with the back of a spoon and break an egg into  each. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt, a good grinding of pepper and scatter more  herbs over the to pat least 3 Tbls. of mint and perhaps 1 of chives.  Cover with remaining pastry. Seal, flute, glaze and make a few steam slits in the usual  way. Bake on a preheated baking sheet at 425degree(220 c) gas mark 7 for 25 minutes,  then at 375degree(190 c) gas mark 6 for 15 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before  serving with a tomato salad or a green salad.<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&quot;For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.&quot; (John 6:33)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vegetarian<\/p>\n <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/vegetarian\/blog\/2026\/02\/15\/herbolace-pie\/\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-vegetarian"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/vegetarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/vegetarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/vegetarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/vegetarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/vegetarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/vegetarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10829\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/vegetarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/vegetarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes4thecook.com\/vegetarian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
