PIE: The only thing I can bake so far



Chop 2 onions
Brown them in the microwave in a Pyrex bowl and some olive oil.
Add a punnet of ready cut (or diy) mushrooms. Back into micro
Cut up 2 500g boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1cm blocks.
Add to mushroom and onion mixture and microwave again till chicken is cooked.
Add some water and a packet of mushroom soup - not too much water +/- half a cup?
Should be like a thick white sauce.
Microwave away any excess water.
Take a regular muffin tin (remember to use spray and cook.
roll out 2 puff pastries.
cut into blocks and mould to muffin tin.
Spoon in microwaved mixture.
cut caps with the rest of the pastry and close the pies using a fork to push it flat.
Brush with beaten egg.
Bake in pre-heated oven 180-200 deg till pies are golden

You do not have to use chicken.
I did the same with leftover pork roast and leftover gravy - just for moisture.
This is truly a lovely treat or lunch and it is flop proof.
