These pies are mushroom caps filled with breadcrumbs and cheese, wrapped in puff pastry. They're incredibly easy to make if you have ready-made puff pastry. Choose very large mushrooms to ensure their caps hold as much filling as possible. Serve these crispy, flavorful pies with a vitamin-rich pear and herb salad in a light French dressing. This dish is very filling and can serve as a complete lunch or dinner on its own.

Ingredients:

• Large leaf puff pastry (0.5 kg)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 4 large mushroom caps
• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp. grated cheddar and/or muenster

• 1.5 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 3 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 180 g corn salad or other green salad (about 6 cups)

Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
Step 2
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 35cm square and cut it into four 17.5cm squares. Grease the center of each square with mustard and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the mushroom caps, hole-side up, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
• Mix in a bowl breadcrumbs and cheese and sprinkle this mixture over the mushrooms. Fold the edges of the dough together, pleating them to completely enclose the mushrooms; press the dough to seal. Brush both sides of the dough with beaten egg. Place the pies seam-side down on a baking sheet, score the tops, and bake until crisp and golden brown, 25 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Step 4
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the shallots, vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste, then whisk in the olive oil. Toss the dressing with the salad greens and pear. Serve the salad with the patties.
