Description
Indulge your taste buds in a culinary delight with our Leek, Mushroom, and Feta Hand Pies. These pies are a perfect blend of crispy and flaky puff pastry encasing a savory mixture of leeks, mushrooms, and feta cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 leek, finely sliced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package puff pastry (or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables: The first step involves heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely sliced leek and sliced mushrooms, allowing them to sauté for 5-7 minutes.
- Season the Mixture: Once the vegetables are softened, stir in fresh thyme along with salt and pepper to taste.
- Incorporate the Feta: When the leek and mushroom mixture has cooled, fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
- Assemble the Hand Pies: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. Cut the rolled pastry into squares.
- Seal and Bake: Fold each pastry square over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges together firmly to seal.
Notes
Thoroughly cool the filling before adding it to the pastry, as a hot filling can lead to soggy pastry.
