Cheese Wild Mushroom N Bacon Pie Recipes

BAKED CHEESY PASTA WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Trim the mushrooms and cut into 1-inch pieces. Toss with the olive oil, the salt, a few grinds of pepper and the rosemary. Spread on a large baking sheet and roast, tossing once or twice, until golden brown and crisped around the edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Discard rosemary.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for at least a few minutes less than the package directs. (You want the pasta very al dente; it will finish softening in the sauce.) Drain well.
• Turn oven up to 500 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the cream, ricotta, fontina, Parmesan, sage, pepper, garlic and a pinch of salt. Stir in the pasta and mushrooms. Arrange in a shallow 2-quart gratin dish or 9- by 13-inch pan. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly and browned in spots, 10 to 15 minutes.

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion and bacon; cook & stir for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
• Reduce the heat to medium, and add the cream and dill; cook and stir for about 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat, & stir in the cheese.
• Place one sheet of puff pastry on a well-oiled baking sheet, and pour the mushroom filling over the top. Cover with the other sheet, and press the edges together to seal. Make some holes in the top with a fork. Brush the top with beaten egg.

CHEESE AND BACK BACON PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut Red Leicester cheese into 1/2-inch cubes; set aside.
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until completely cooked but not too crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
• Drain potatoes and then mash them roughly; you want a few lumps left in this. Add Red Leicester, chopped bacon, and lots of black pepper; stir to combine. Transfer to a large, deep, oven-proof dish and sprinkle grated Cheddar over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

WILD MUSHROOM MAC 'N' CHEESE

Steps:

• Tip the dried mushrooms into a heatproof bowl, pour over hot water from the kettle until just covered, then set aside to soak until cool. Meanwhile, heat about a third of the butter in a frying pan until sizzling and scatter in the chestnut mushrooms. Season and fry for 4-5 mins over a high heat until soft and cooked through. Set aside. When the dried mushrooms are cool, drain over a bowl to catch the soaking juices, pressing to squeeze out all the liquid, then roughly chop.
• Heat all but about ½ tsp of the remaining butter in a large saucepan over a high heat until sizzling, then add the rehydrated mushrooms and fry for 2-3 mins until well browned. Scatter over the flour and stir together to make a sandy paste. Cook for 2 mins, then gradually pour in the reserved mushroom soaking liquid, leaving any sediment in the bottom of the bowl. Simmer until thickened, then gradually stir or whisk in the milk until completely incorporated into a sauce. Add the mustard powder or mustard and season to taste with a grating of nutmeg and some salt and pepper. Leave the sauce to cook gently on a low-medium heat. Meanwhile, cook the macaroni in a saucepan of boiling water for 2 mins less than stated on the packet.
• When the macaroni is ready, drain well and tip back into the saucepan. Pour over the mushroom sauce, tip in the fried chestnut mushrooms, all the cheddar and half the parmesan, then vigorously stir everything together until fully combined. Use the last of the butter to butter a casserole dish, then scrape in the macaroni and mushroom mix. Scatter with the remaining parmesan and the breadcrumbs, if using. Will keep covered and chilled for up to two days or in the freezer for up to three months. Defrost fully in the fridge before baking.
• When you're ready to cook, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden and bubbling. Leave to stand for a few minutes, then bring to the table and serve straight from the dish.
