Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Thaw the puff pastry sheet as per package instructions. Once thawed, cut it into equal squares or rectangles to make the pie bases.
- Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft and any released liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mushroom and spinach mixture with the grated parmesan cheese and sour cream. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Lay out the puff pastry squares on the lined baking tray.
- Spoon the mushroom, spinach, and cheese mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl, then brush the edges of each pastry square with the beaten egg. Fold the pastry over the filling or enclose it and press the edges firmly to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the pies from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your delicious mushroom, spinach & cheese pies warm or at room temperature!
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is fully melted before adding the garlic to extract maximum flavor without burning.
- Use a mix of different mushroom varieties (like cremini, shiitake, or button mushrooms) for a more complex flavor.
- Squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach after cooking to prevent the pastry from getting soggy.
- Seal the edges of the puff pastry well to avoid any filling from leaking out during baking.
- For an extra golden crust, brush the puff pastry with a mixture of beaten egg and a splash of water before baking.
