Recipe

Heat oven to 375� F.

Heat oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and pork and stir, breaking up with the back of a spoon, until golden brown and liquid is evaporated, about 12 minutes. Mix in onions, celery, bell peppers, and jalape�os and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, bay leaves, Creole seasoning, flour, and Worcestershire sauce; cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Stir in scallions and parsley and let filling cool completely.

Remove bay leaf from filling; discard. Divide filling equally among ramekins. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface and cut out into six 8-inch rounds. Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush egg wash around edges of each ramekin; place dough rounds on top. Trim each dough round so it extends only � inch beyond surface of ramekin. Crimp dough over sides, pressing to adhere. Brush tops of dough with egg wash and cut three slits across the top with a paring knife. Sprinkle kosher salt over. Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crusts are golden brown and fillings are bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes.
