Mylates of Pork

I've made this one before, but with a single crust and almonds instead of pine nuts. Also, the pieces of pork needed to be cut MUCH finer than I had before. I've tried it with multiple types of cheese - gouda, havarti, mozzarella... the gouda/mozzarella mix seems to be the favorite. I really wasn't fond of the havarti one.

Source [Forme of Cury, S. Pegge (ed.)]: MYLATES OF PORK. XX.VII. XV. Hewe Pork al to pecys and medle it with ayrenn & chese igrated. do þerto powdour fort safroun & pyneres with salt, make a crust in a trape, bake it wel þerinne, and serue it forth.

Hew pork all to pieces and meddle it with eyren and grated cheese. Do thereto powder forte, saffron, and pine nuts with salt, make a crust in a trap, bake it well therein, and serve it forth.

ingredients - cooked pork, eggs, cheese, powder forte, saffron, pine nuts, salt

This one was pretty well liked, even by my toddler.
