Method
 

Making Mini Mushroom Pies
  1. Prepare the mushroom filling by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and sautéing chopped cremini mushrooms for 8-10 minutes until golden. Add minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for an additional minute. Pour in dry red wine and red wine vinegar, simmer for 3-5 minutes until mostly evaporated. Stir in butter and flour until thickened, then let cool.
  2. Roll out the pie dough to about ⅛ inch thick. Cut out circles using a biscuit cutter. Brush edges with egg wash or almond milk, place about a tablespoon of mushroom filling in the center, cover with another dough circle, and seal edges with a fork.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange the assembled mini mushroom pies on the sheet, brush the tops with egg wash, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  4. Bake the mini mushroom pies for 18-22 minutes if chilled or 35 minutes if frozen, until golden-brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For best results, allow filling to cool before assembling, roll dough thin, and crimp edges securely to keep filling inside. Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven.
