savory pastry

Filled, not sweet

A savory pastry is a baked good with a non-sweet filling—meat, cheese, vegetables, or some combination.

Pies, quiches, empanadas, and pasties all qualify.

The term distinguishes these from sweet pastries like danishes or croissants: The bakery has both sweet and savory pastries.
