Cheesy Hand Pies Food

CHEESY HAND PIES

Steps:

• Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour and 2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Grate butter on the large holes of a box grater right into bowl, tossing occasionally with your hands to prevent sticking. Drizzle 3/4 cup ice water around circumference of bowl. Mix with a fork, adding more water if needed by the teaspoonful, until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn out dough along with any dry bits onto a clean work surface. Knead until dough is smooth and hydrated with only a few pieces of butter still visible, about 1 minute. Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and chill at least 1 hour.
• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until well blended. Transfer half of eggs to a small bowl; reserve as egg wash. Add feta to remaining eggs in medium bowl and mash with a fork until combined and nearly smooth. Gently fold in mozzarella and dill until just combined; season with pepper and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt.
• Divide dough in half. Roll each piece on a lightly floured surface to a 16x8" rectangle. Using a bench scraper, cut each rectangle into 8 squares (for a total of 16). Transfer to two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets and chill 10 minutes.
• Brush edges of squares with reserved egg wash. Mound a heaping tablespoon of cheese filling in the center of each square. Fold dough over and press edges with a fork to seal. Brush with egg wash, then cut 3 small slits into the top of each. Bake pies, rotating pans from front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 30-35 minutes. Let pies cool 10 minutes before serving.
• Do Ahead: Dough can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled. Let rest at room temperature 15 minutes before rolling out.

CHEESY HAM & EGG HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Add the butter to a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Beat 6 of the eggs together in a bowl. When the butter has melted, add the beaten eggs and the chives to the skillet, then a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add to a bowl to cool slightly.
• Add the ham, mozzarella and Cheddar to the eggs and mix to combine. Set aside.
• Make an egg wash with the remaining egg and a splash of cold water in a small bowl.
• Lay out the sheets of puff pastry and cut into twelve 3-by-5-inch rectangles. Divide the egg mix among six of the puff pastry rectangles, leaving borders empty around the edges. Brush the borders with the egg wash and top each with another puff pastry rectangle. Using a fork, crimp the edges to seal. Transfer to the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash and sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes.
• Serve hot and enjoy.

CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet. Add mushrooms; saute until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Melt remaining butter in the same skillet over low heat. Stir in sliced onions. Cook onions, uncovered, until liquid evaporates and onions turn golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Stir occasionally so onions don't burn.
• Return mushrooms to the skillet. Stir in bacon, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook for 3 minutes more. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Roll out pie crusts on a flat, lightly floured surface. Cut each crust into three 5-inch rounds. Whisk egg and milk together in a small bowl; brush lightly around the edge of each round.
• Divide the onion mixture evenly among the 6 rounds, placing it in the center. Top each with Gruyere cheese. Bring the sides of the dough to meet in the middle, forming a semi-circle shape. Press to seal and crimp the edges with a fork.
• Cut 2 small slits into each hand pie for steam to escape. Brush the top of the pies with the remaining egg wash if desired. Transfer pies to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and serve hot out of the oven or at room temperature.
