Gouda Mushroom Hand Pies
Gouda Mushroom Hand Pies are a delicious and savory dish that is perfect for any occasion. These hand pies are made with a flaky pastry crust and filled with a rich and creamy mixture of Gouda cheese and sautéed mushrooms. The combination of the earthy mushrooms and the tangy Gouda cheese creates a flavor that is both comforting and satisfying.
To make these Gouda Mushroom Hand Pies, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Gouda cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms, thyme, salt, and black pepper and continue to sauté until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded Gouda cheese.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball of dough into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Spoon a generous amount of the mushroom and Gouda mixture onto one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the tops of the hand pies with the beaten egg.
Bake the hand pies for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly. Serve warm and enjoy!
