If you have extra eggplants in your kitchen with no idea how to use them, consider making a savory pie.
Adding sun-dried tomatoes, cheese, and spices to this eggplant pie really brings out the Tuscan flavor it is inspired by.
There are so many different ways to cook eggplant but for this recipe, we recommend grilling them before adding it to the pie.
By grilling the eggplants, they won’t get too soft and mushy when they’re added to the pie.
This would be great as an appetizer or side dish for an Italian meal.
Or go ahead and have it as your main dish for dinner!
You don’t have to be Irish or celebrating St. Patrick’s Day to enjoy Irish dinner pie recipes.

Make sure to add in some heavy cream to soften the potatoes and help them brown on top.
With the crispy crust, this dinner pie is irresistible!
Although the butternut squash in this recipe tends to have a sweet taste, this is a top pick for savory pie recipes.
There is so much flavor in this pie between the butternut squash, the caramelized onions, the feta cheese, and all the spices added in, too!
This recipe does have many steps but don’t worry, it can be split up into two days.
If the idea of waiting an entire day to enjoy this dinner pie sounds unappealing, just remember, it is COMPLETELY worth it!

A galette is a classic French savory pie.
You don’t have to be a forager to enjoy this mushroom galette.
You don’t even have to be a professional baker!
No special dishes or pans are needed for this recipe.
To make it even easier, you just wrap the galette crust over itself to hold the mushroom goodness inside.
In the summer months, we have to fill our dinner pies with seasonal veggies.
Rather than just grilling the vegetables and topping with butter or olive oil, make this quiche-like pie to change things up.
Start by making the buttery crust by using simple butter crackers.
While the crust is pre-baking, cook the vegetables in order to draw out water.
Throw together the vegetables, eggs, and cheese into the crust, bake and you have an amazing summery dinner pie!
Bisquick is an amazing staple when working on savory pie recipes.
If this recipe brings up some nostalgia, it’s probably because Bisquick printed their own version of this recipe on their boxes.

But turning it into a pie?
Even better!
This is another one of the dinner pie recipes that you can customize by adding in your own ingredients like peppers, bacon, or corn.

Don’t leave out the creamy sauce made out of sour cream and red taco sauce!
Set your timer for 30 minutes and you’ll have a filling and tasty dinner by the time it dings.
Many main dish pie recipes don’t accommodate those on a low carb diet.
This pie is a great dinner choice for those who are keeping an eye on their carb intake since it doesn’t have a crust.
With the spinach included (or the option to switch it out for kale), you’ll also be sure to get some vegetables in with your dinner too.
This is an incredibly simple recipe with essentially two steps: mix together the ingredients and bake!
Call it a pie, a quiche, or a frittata, it doesn’t matter; we call it delicious.
12. Spaghetti Pie
Out of all of the easy savory pie recipes, spaghetti pie is a top choice!
Not only is it easy, it’s delicious!
Who doesn’t like spaghetti AND pie?!
A great thing about this recipe is that you can use up your spaghetti leftovers without feeling like you’ve been eating the same food for days.
The spaghetti and the melted cheese make such a tasty pie “crust”.

This savory pie recipe is a Southern classic!
Featuring onions, milk, eggs, and cheese inside of a pie crust, this is a great side dish to make with your next meal.
Vidalia onions do tend to be sweet and cooking them does release even more sweetness.
However, the other ingredients in this pie complement that natural sweetness so well.
Try to prevent a soggy crust when baking this by “blind baking” the crust.
Letting the onions rest on a paper towel-lined plate also allows it to drain excess moisture.
Whether you consider this a quiche or a pie, it is worth adding this to your dinner line up!
18. Bierocks
Main dish pie recipes don’t have to be limited to America’s borders!.
Bierocks are German meat pies.

Following savory pie recipes doesn’t mean you don’t have to get your vegetables in with your meals!

There are also some small changes that can be made in order to make this recipe vegan!
This recipe is simple, can be inexpensive, but is still full of flavor!
Savory pies are not just for dinner!
This savory Italian tart can be a perfect choice for breakfast since it features Italian sausage, tomatoes, eggs, and cheese.
If the weather outside is still warm, you can include garden fresh tomatoes to add some more freshness to this dish.
This may seem like a quiche but it is so much more filling than a simple breakfast quiche.

Chili and cornbread is a favorite comfort meal for the cold winter days.
Wouldn’t it be great if there were dinner pie recipes that put those two together into one?

22. Spanakopita
Spanakopita is a traditional Greek savory pie with spinach and feta cheese surrounded by crispy phyllo dough.
Phyllo dough is layers of very thin pastry dough.
These sheets of dough will tear but good news is you can use just a few sheets to top off your spanakopita.
Sometimes this is made in one large dish like a casserole, other times it is made into handheld triangle shapes.
It just depends on your preference!
This recipe is a great way to encourage the little ones to get more greens into their diet!
A lot of easy savory pie recipes don’t skimp on flavor despite how simple it may be to create.
You can use a pre-made pie crust, rotisserie chicken, canned chiles, and pre-sliced potatoes to make this pot pie and save time on those busy nights you still want a hearty and filling meal.
If it’s post-Thanksgiving, you can sub out the chicken for turkey and it still works great while giving you a break from the turkey sandwiches you’ve probably had for every meal since.
If you shy away from spicy foods, feel free to grab some poblano peppers or canned green chiles that are milder with their heat.
This will still result in a hearty and tasty dinner pie!
There are so many options out there for non-traditional dinner pie recipes.
This dinner pie is unique, but such an amazing combination of chicken salad and honey Dijon dressing.
It is also such a simple recipe to follow!
Simply mix together the ingredients, bake in a pie shell, and top it off with cheese.
No one has to know how easy it was for you to make this dinner that adds some excitement to typical chicken salad!
Sure, chicken pot pie is a classic.
But when you’re cooking dinner pie recipes, why not branch out and have some fun with it?
By including mushrooms, mustard, and banana shallots, you can switch up your family favorite meal.
Feel free to use store-bought pie crust or puff pastry to make this even easier without giving up taste.
Once you have mastered a simple chicken pot pie, you can throw in all kinds of ingredients to make it your own, as this recipe has done.
Some main dish pie recipes may take a bit longer to bake, such as this Beef and Guinness Pie recipe, but considering how flavorful this dinner pie is, it is definitely worth it.
Cooking the chuck steak with Guinness beer for two hours really enhances the flavor of the tender beef.
This also allows for the sauce to thicken to create the perfect consistency for this pie.
Although this pie is perfect by itself, you can serve it with some bread, mashed potatoes, or Irish colcannon on the side, too.
Thanksgiving has to be one of every foodie’s favorite holiday.
Traditionally full of sweet dessert pies, there’s no reason you can’t put together a savory pie with all of the leftovers you’re sure to have.
When it comes to gravy, the more the merrier!
You can add some into the filling or top off the pie with this key Thanksgiving dish.
Make sure to allow your leftovers to warm up a bit after taking it out of the fridge to make spreading it into the pie easier!
