Mini fetta & mushroom pies

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small leek, trimmed, washed, chopped finely
250g small button mushrooms, finely chopped, plus 4 small button mushrooms thinly sliced for decoration
1 clove garlic, crushed
½ cup (120g) firm fresh ricotta
100g Greek fetta, crumbled
¼ cup chopped cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
25g baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
3 sheets frozen butter puff pastry, partially thawed
1 egg, beaten lightly, for glazing

Method

1.

Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced).

2.

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, add leek and chopped mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until mushrooms start to soften.

3.

Add garlic and continue to cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Place in a bowl and set aside to cool. Add ricotta, fetta, parsley, dill and spinach. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and mix well.

4.

Using a 7cm round cutter, cut rounds from the pastry. Spoon 1 heaped teaspoon of mushroom filling onto half of each circle. Fold to enclose and crimp the edges with a fork. Place onto prepared trays, brush with beaten egg and top each with a sliced mushroom.

5.

Bake mushroom pies for 15 minutes or until deep golden brown.

Can I freeze the mushroom pies?

Unbaked pastries can be frozen. When ready to serve, bake mushroom pies from frozen for a few minutes longer than the recommended baking time listed in recipe.

Test Kitchen tip

Butter puff pastry sheets soften quickly, so keep them refrigerated while working on each pastry sheet.
