This recipe reimagines the classic Caribbean breakfast staple by baking savory salted cod and earthy callaloo greens into a flaky, buttery crust. It is an elegant brunch option that retains all the authentic flavors of scotch bonnet, thyme, and garlic in a shareable pie format.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the salted codfish to remove surface salt, then boil in water for 10-15 minutes. Drain, rinse again, and flake the fish into small pieces, discarding any bones or skin.
In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the chopped callaloo (or spinach) and thyme to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until the greens are wilted and any excess liquid has evaporated. Stir in the flaked saltfish and remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and black pepper until smooth.
Spread the vegetable and fish mixture evenly across the bottom of the unbaked pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Pour the egg and cream mixture carefully over the filling.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
