I've been sitting here since the last post went up over an hour ago with no idea how to start this post. So I'm just going to give you the recipe and some pretty pictures and be done with it!
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
2 bacon strips, chopped
150g white button mushrooms, chopped
150g field mushrooms, chopped
6 green spring onions, chopped
1 tablespoon grain mustard
110g cream cheese
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
450g cooked chicken, chopped
10 sheets pastry, filo or puff
To cook the chicken I decided to poach my chicken breasts. Poaching is basically a nicer way of saying boiling. So simple to do, just cover the chicken with water, bring to the boil, when the chicken rises to the surface weigh down with a small plate or something similar to keep the chicken under the water. Should take about 15-20 minutes for this amount of chicken. It makes it really succulent and if you season the water it should taste pretty good too!
Heat the butter in a frying pan, add the bacon and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the liquid has evaporated. Add the green (spring) onions and cook, stirring, until soft. Stir in the mustard, cream cheese, cream and chicken and mix well.
God this mixture was SO yummy, I could have eaten it just like this (shhh don't tell anyone but.. I did!)
Cut sheets of pastry in to rectangles, you need two rectangles for every person eating, spoon a bit of the filling in to the middle of the pastry rectangles and squish the edges together, make sure you do this TIGHTLY or you'll get leakage!
Brush with a little melted butter and sprinkle poppy seeds on top (or in my case dried thyme). Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake for approx 20 minutes or until golden.
Definitely something I'll be making again!
