Description
Savory hand pies filled with Brussels sprouts and mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced Brussels sprouts and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the salt, pepper, and thyme. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until combined.
- Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares.
- Spoon about 1/4 of the Brussels sprouts and mozzarella mixture onto one half of each pastry square, leaving a small border.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the hand pies with the beaten egg wash. Cut a small slit in the top of each hand pie to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For crispier pastry, you can bake the hand pies directly on the oven rack after placing them on the baking sheet.
- You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to the filling.
- Serve warm as a snack or light meal.
