I just made a big batch of meat pie filling then froze them in silicon muffin cups - they are a perfect size to fit into the pie maker for a quick meal.

I am home alone today and playing with my Thermomix and the pie maker.  I just found a great link with lots of great pie maker fillings (pumpkin and feta pie for tea tonight)
www.mouthwateringmunchies.com/?cat=60 and this yummy one for dessert

Plum Cheesecake with Passionfruit Sauce
100g cream cheese
¼ cup condensed milk
1 egg yolk
1 sheet puff pastry – cut 4 large circles
1/3 cup roughly chopped plums
170g can passionfruit in syrup

Combine cream cheese, condensed milk and egg yolk, beat until thick and creamy.
Place pastry in pre-heated pie maker, add 1 tablespoon of plums and fill with cheesecake mixture to the crust level.
Cook for 6-8 minutes or until cheesecake mixture is set to touch and lightly browned. Let cool before serving with passionfruit sauce.

It's great that this type of pie can be made in the pie maker babe but I couldn't find it on your link.  Is there a special section for pie maker fillings?

[berringamababe]

The cheesecake was on a different link but a great recipe

I haven't tried anything in mine without a top (apart from custard tarts) - they look great.

[berringamababe]

They where great Judydawn!!!!
The cheese cakes where a success also, I left one in for the extra 15 mins and it was better.
I used strawberries instead of plums and strawberry jam heated as the sauce.  I will be making them again although the pastry was a bit different so will try the biscuits next time.
