Chicken Leek Mini Pies

Leave a review

These savory mini pies have golden, crisp crusts over a rich, creamy sauce beautifully balanced by subtly sweet, melted leeks that brings a soft, delicate onion flavor to every bite. They’re genuinely comforting and soul-satisfying, and just the elevated, portioned side dish to serve for the holidays.

Yields: 12 to 14 4-ounce pies

Easy Meat

Contains: Gluten, Wheat, Egg

Directions

Prepare the Filling

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Cook the beef bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Remove and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

  3. Add oil if needed. Add the frozen leeks and cook over medium heat for eight to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and most of the released liquid has evaporated.

  4. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  5. Sprinkle the flour over the leeks and stir constantly for one minute.

  6. Gradually whisk in the two cups chicken broth and 1/2 cup non-dairy milk until smooth.

  7. Simmer for three to five minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.

  8. Stir in the chicken and reserved beef bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble and Bake

  1. Divide the cooled filling among the ramekins, filling each about three-fourths full.

  2. Cut the puff pastry slightly larger than the ramekin opening.

  3. Brush the rim of each ramekin with a little egg wash and place the pastry on top, pressing lightly around the edge.

  4. Cut a small slit in the center of each pastry lid.

  5. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash.

  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes for eight-ounce ramekins 25–30 minutes for 10- to 12-ounce ramekins.

I think you could use pastarmi instead and I'd say around 4 oz package.
