Preheat the oven to 180℃. Cover the baking dish with the sheet of puff pastry, crimping along the edges to seal. Use a pastry brush to glaze the surface of the pastry with the egg yolk.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with a side of salad greens or vegetables.
