Directions

• No matter how you choose to prepare them – as individual portions or as one big pie to slice into smaller pieces (I’ll show you both versions) – they’re sure to be loved by everyone.
  So grab a cozy spot, I’m about to tell you how I made them!
• How to make the Golden Mushroom Hand Pies:
  I started by preparing both the meat and the vegetables.
  A little tip: these pies will taste just as delicious even without meat – you can leave it out entirely or swap it for bacon, sausage, or ham, depending on your preference.
  Also, if you don’t have green onions, a small regular onion will do just fine.
• Using a non-stick pan, I first fried the chicken cubes in butter.
  I lightly browned them on both sides and seasoned them with salt, pepper, and a mix of spices (optional).
  
• Then, over the cooked chicken, I added the vegetables and continued cooking until the mushrooms were done.
  Finally, I added the garlic, cream, and seasoned a little more.
• Shaping and baking the pies -cut circles from the dough and place them at the bottom of the pans, then prick the dough with a fork. Place a few pieces of mozzarella – not too much, a little is enough.
  
• I filled the pans with the mushroom filling I had prepared earlier, and finally, I sprinkled a mix of cheeses on top.
• If you don’t want to make individual pies, you can choose to bake one larger pie and cut it into smaller pieces after baking.
  Using the remaining dough, I also made this version, and I baked the leftover dough scraps just as they were – they make excellent snacks.
  I baked the pies at 190°C (375°F) for 30–35 minutes, but the baking time may vary depending on the oven.
• Serving the Golden Mushroom Pies:
  They’re best served warm, straight from the dish—no plates, no cutlery—just with lots of appetite!
  The crust is tender and slightly crispy, the filling is full of flavor, and the melted mozzarella brings everything together in a delicious embrace. Yumm!!
  Each bite reminds you of home-cooked food, made with care and lots of heart.
• They’re perfect for days when you have guests over or simply want to treat your family to something easy, yet impressive.
  They’re easy to make, even easier to serve – and the best part? No one asks for a fork; everyone just asks for another one!
• I hope this recipe inspires and delights you, just as much as I enjoyed preparing it.
