CHANTERELLE MUSHROOM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 C.
• Cut the chanterelles into manageable sizes. Keep in mind it needs to fit on top of the puff pastry and you don't want huge chunks here but not too small either. In a bowl toss the mushrooms with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
• Take the puff pastry (defrosted ofcourse) and put some of the mushrooms in the middle, making sure to leave the sides free. Don't be too shy; you want to have a nice little pile of mushrooms there. They will decrease in size in the oven.
• Generously add little chunks of the blue cheese here and there. Make sure to have an even distribution of cheesy goodness there. Once done sprinkle the grated pecorino on top.
• Put some eggwash on the sides of the puff pastry and fold it creatively in a little basket, so that the cheese stays in when it starts to melt. Plus the corners will become nice and crispy too. Pinch it tightly to make sure it stays put once heated.
• Put the little pies in the oven for about 12 minutes on high, then bring the temperature down to 190 °C and bake for another 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Return the chicken to pan, add mushrooms and garlic, and cook and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Strain off and save the juices from the mushrooms as they cook.
• Transfer pan contents to the prepared pie dish along with carrots and peas; add parsley leaves. Mix to get a good distribution of ingredients throughout the dish.
• Combine chicken broth, reserved mushroom juices, milk, parsley stalks, thyme, and rosemary in a pot. Bring to a boil. Mix cornstarch and water together to make a paste and add to the pot. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Strain the gravy over the pie dish and season with salt and pepper.
• Roll out the thawed pastry until it will cover the pie dish. Lay over pie and press down at the sides, cutting away excess pastry. Brush beaten egg yolk over the pastry. Cut a small "X" in the middle of the pie to vent.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
