Elegant Mushroom Squash Pie Recipes

ELEGANT MUSHROOM PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-fat cooking spray.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, and onions, stirring occasionally, until liquid from the mushrooms has cooked down, about 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and thyme and simmer 2 minutes.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a separate saucepan. Whisk in flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute. Gradually add the Swanson® Chicken Broth, Marsala, and half-and-half, whisking until sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3 minutes. The sauce should be very thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the mushroom mixture to the sauce broth/Marsala mixture; stir well.
• Roll out one sheet of puff pastry to fit the pie plate. Press evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate; trim the excess pastry. Spoon the mushroom mixture into the pastry shell.
• Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry, and place on top. Trim excess, and crimp the edge to seal. Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and mushroom mixture is bubbly, about 40 minutes. Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.

MUSHROOM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion and bacon; cook and stir for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Reduce the heat to medium, and add the cream and dill; cook and stir for about 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the cheese.
• Place one sheet of puff pastry on a well oiled baking sheet, and pour the mushroom filling over the top. Cover with the other sheet, and press the edges together to seal. Make some holes in the top with a fork. Brush the top with beaten egg.
• Bake for about 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool, then cut into squares to serve.

GRANDMA WILLIAMS'S SQUASH PIE

Steps:

• Put the squash in a large pot and fill with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve and press the squash with the back of a spoon to remove the excess water.
• Preheat the oven to 350 ̊ F. Transfer the squash to a blender. Add the butter and flour and blend until pureed. Add the sugar, lemon extract and eggs. Blend until smooth. Evenly divide the filling among the pie shells. (If using refrigerated pie dough instead of frozen crusts, ease into three 9-inch pie pans and crimp the edges before filling.)
• Bake until the filling is set, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let the pies cool to room temperature before slicing.

ELEGANT MUSHROOM-SQUASH PIE

Steps:

• Roll out dough and press into three 9-inch round baking pans. (Reserve some of the dough to form lattice top on pies.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Peel, slice, and cook squash until tender. Saute onions in oil for 10-15 minutes. Mix onions with mushrooms and add squash. Continue to saute until all vegetables are soft. Add the remaining ingredients, except paprika, and mix.
• Pour mixture over dough in baking pans. Sprinkle some paprika for color. Use reserved dough to form lattice design on top of pies. Brush pies with beaten egg.
• Bake pies for 30-40 minutes.
• Note: Pies can be decorated around rim of baking pan with a thin braid formed of dough.
