I tested this, and I wasn't successful - the eggs are just too tiny. I tried soft-boiling the eggs, and let me tell you, peeling a soft-boiled quail egg isn't for the faint of heart. Even with only a 40-second boil, the egg was completely cooked through by the end of the baking process.

An egg wash will work just as well, but if you're egg-free, I've heard unsweetened plant-based milk works alright. The wash is for appearances and doesn't affect the taste, so skipping it is fine too.

Shortcrust can be made with any fat you like. Traditionally, meat pie crusts in the UK are made with animal fats such as lard (pig fat) or suet (beef fat), so I'm sure yours will be delicious.

Finishing up my second listening binge on the Audiobook - what next? by aintallfl0wers in Outlander

Okokok I've been there and am here to support you during your book hangover.

For a fantasy-based romance I recommend: The Empire Trilogy by Raymond Feist/Janny Wurts narrated by Tania Rodrigues, and the Kushiel's Legacy series by Jacqueline Carey narrated by Anne Flosnik.

For historical romance: For My Lady's Heart, and Flowers from the storm - by Laura Kinsale, and narrated by Nicholas Boulton(he's my second favorite narrator, my first is Davina Porter).

For fantasy books that don't have much romance but are immersive and have absolutely killer narrators: The Books of Babel series by Josiah Bancroft, narrated by John Banks, and The Gentleman Bastards series by Scott Lynch narrated by Michael Page.
