Savory Hand Pies

Whats a hand pie? Well, its basically a mini version of your favorite pastry made into a small grab and go size. Remember eating Hot Pockets?!

Anything made with homemade pie crust and filled with mushrooms is going to be on my radar. They’re simple to make and a great vessel for your garden goodies!

Mushroom Pie Filling

For these little savory pastry goodies I chose a combo of baby bella mushrooms, baby spinach, yellow onion, thyme, and shredded gouda cheese!

All you need to do is slightly cook down the mushrooms and onions. Then stir in the spinach while its still warm. Let the filling cool. Scoop a couple Tablespoons onto your pastry circles then sprinkle with cheese before closing.

How do You Crimp a Hand Pie?!

There are several steps to close the edges of the pie around the filling.

  • Make sure all pastry rounds are the same size and thickness.
  • Cool and drain any excess juices.
  • Spoon filling slightly to the side if center, covering most of one half of the circle. Leave about a¼ inch of bare crust around your filling.
  • Brush the edges with egg wash.
  • Fold crust over the filling and use your fingers to press the edges together.
  • Or you can a fork to crimp the edges together to seal the pie.
  • Place hand pies on a prepared sheet pan and freeze for 10 minutes before baking. This will firm the pastry and help it hold its shape while baking.
  • Don’t worry if some of the filling oozes out. It will be just as tasty!

How to Store Mushroom Pies

These pies are best eaten within a day of baking for best flavor and freshness. However, they can be stored in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also wrap them with plastic wrap and place in a freezer storage bag for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen pies to room temperature and then microwave to warm before serving.
