Bacon Mushroom Mini Pies Recipes

MUSHROOM AND BACON MINI POCKET PIES

Steps:

• In 12-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes until crisp; drain on paper towels. Cook mushrooms and onion in 2 tablespoons bacon drippings over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender. In small bowl, combine bacon, mushrooms and onion. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray.
• In food processor with metal blade, place flour and cheese. Cover; process using quick on-and- off motions, until well mixed. Add butter; process until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Add cream cheese and egg yolks, continue to process just until blended and dough begins to form a ball.
• On floured surface, knead dough 10 times. Roll dough until 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 16 rounds with floured 4- inch round cutter.
• Spoon about 1 tablespoon bacon mixture onto each round. Fold each in half; seal edges with fork tines. Place on cookie sheet. Brush each pocket with beaten egg; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

MINI CREAMY MUSHROOM PIES

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and fry until soft. Stir in the garlic and mushrooms, season and cook for 5 mins until the mushrooms are soft. Stir in the parsley and cream. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Grease a 6-hole muffin tin with butter, then line each hole with a long thin strip of baking parchment. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and stamp out 6 x 10 cm circles. Press a circle into each hole to line. Roll out the remaining pastry (you may need to re-roll trimmings) and stamp out 6 x 8cm circles.
• Divide the mushroom mix between the pies. Brush the pastry edges with a little egg, top each with a pastry lid and carefully press the pastry edges together to seal.
• Brush with the remaining egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden. Allow to cool in the tin slightly before serving, or cool on a wire rack and keep in airtight containers for up to 1 day. Reheat before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
• Cut the puff pastry sheets into 35 rounds, using a 2-inch fluted pastry cutter, and fill 2 small muffin tins with the rounds. Top each muffin tin with a second muffin tin to secure the puff pastry and form pie shells.
• Bake until the pie shells are golden brown and cooked through, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, coat a large saute pan with olive oil over medium heat and cook the bacon until brown and crispy and the fat has rendered out. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Add the leeks into the pan, sprinkle with salt and sweat until wilted. Stir in the mushrooms, sprinkle with more salt and saute until soft. Carefully pour in the whiskey and cook until the pan is basically dry. Remove from the heat and stir in the creme fraiche, followed by the bacon.
• Fill the pie shells, and serve garnished with chives.
