Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5–7 minutes
Ingredients:
- 4 slices soft white bread (crusts trimmed)
- 2 tbsp butter (softened)
- 4 tbsp lemon curd (more if desired)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows or spoonable meringue (optional)
Equipment:
- Cast iron pie irons
- Campfire or grill with hot coals
Instructions:
- Prep the Bread: Butter one side of each bread slice generously. Trim the crusts so the bread fits neatly in the pie irons.
- Assemble the Pie Iron: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, into each side of the pie iron. Spread lemon curd onto one slice generously.
- Add Meringue or Marshmallows: Sprinkle mini marshmallows or add a scoop of meringue over the lemon curd for that classic “lemon meringue pie” touch.
- Close It Up: Press the two sides of the pie iron together and lock them.
- Cook Over Fire: Place the pie iron directly on hot coals and cook for 2–4 minutes per side, checking occasionally, until the bread is golden and crispy and the inside is gooey.
- Serve: Carefully open the pie iron (watch for steam!) and slide out your golden lemon meringue pie pocket. Let cool slightly and enjoy.
QUICK TIP: Use a paper towel or silicone mitt to safely open hot pie irons.
