Mini Creamy Caramelized Mushroom Pies Recipes

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.

MINI MUSHROOM PIES

Steps:

• Cut the onion, garlic and spring onions.
• Melt the butter in a large frying pan and add the onions and garlic.
• Fry gently until soft, then chop the celery sticks and mushrooms and fry together on a low to medium heat until tender.
• Mushrooms have a high water content, once all the water has been released and absorbed, add the milk and flour and mix well with a wooden spoon until you get a creamy texture.
• Remove from the heat, season well with salt, black pepper and dill.
• Set aside to cool completely.
• Dust some flour onto the working surface and place the ready rolled puff pastry. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut 12 rounds. 6 will be needed for the bottom and 6 for the top of the pies. I found that the bottom ones is best to be slightly larger than the ones that form the top.
• Line each of the lie maker moulds with one of the larger pastry round.
• Fill each pie with the mushroom mixture, then top each pie with the smaller pastry lids.
• Securely close the pie maker and switch it on.
• Cook for about 10 minutes, then switch the pie maker off and carefully remove the pies.
• Serve hot.

MINI CREAMY MUSHROOM PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 390 °F.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of oil in a medium-sized saucepan. Add a finely sliced small onion and sauté until soft. Add a crushed garlic clove and the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes until the mushrooms are soft.
• Mix in a chopped handful of parsley and pour in 100 millilitres of cream. Stir, cook for about 2- 3 minutes and remove from the heat and leave to cool.
• Roll the pastry out on a work surface lightly dusted with flour. Use a cookie cutter to cut out six 4-inch circles. Press one circle into each muffin cup and continue to roll out the pastry and cut out six 3-inch circles until no more pastry remains.
• Distribute the mushroom filling between each of the pies. Brush the edges of the pastry with some egg. Place a pastry lid on top of each one and carefully press the pastry edges together to seal them.
• Brush each of the lids with beaten egg and sprinkle a few caraway seeds on each.
• Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden on top.
• Allow the pies to cool slightly in the tin before serving.
• Serve warm.

CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Add mushrooms; saute until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Melt remaining butter in the same skillet over low heat. Stir in sliced onions. Cook onions, uncovered, until liquid evaporates and onions turn golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir occasionally so onions don't burn.
• Return mushrooms to the skillet. Stir in bacon, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook for 3 minutes more. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Roll out pie crusts on a flat, lightly floured surface. Cut each crust into three 5-inch rounds. Whisk egg and milk together in a small bowl; brush lightly around the edge of each round.
• Divide the onion mixture evenly among the 6 rounds, placing it in the center. Top each with Gruyere cheese. Bring the sides of the dough to meet in the middle, forming a semi-circle shape. Press to seal and crimp the edges with a fork.
• Cut 2 small slits into each hand pie for steam to escape. Brush the top of the pies with the remaining egg wash if desired. Transfer pies to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and serve hot out of the oven or at room temperature.

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.

• 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.
