Chicken and broccoli in a roll
Chicken fillet, broccoli and cheese are a win-win combination for filling. We will prepare the cake itself from puff pastry with Altai butter “We Eat at Home”. Pronounced creamy notes will give the baking a special sophistication. We will add broccoli “Planet of vitamins”to the filling. These are natural vegetables that have preserved their rich color and original taste thanks to shock freezing.
Finely chop 500 g of chicken fillet, pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil, add 1 tsp lemon zest and 1-2 cloves of garlic. And now one important touch. We season the fillet with a mix of different types of salt from the set “Chest” from “Home kitchen”. It includes pink, black, Himalayan, blue Persian, sea salt pyramids, as well as salt “Kala namak” and “halit”. Create your own combination, and the taste of the filling will be instantly transformed. While the meat is marinating, blanch 300 g of broccoli in boiling water for 5 minutes, cool and finely chop. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown.
We roll out the dough layer into a rectangle, spread the fillet in the center, place the cabbage on top and sprinkle all 100 g of grated cheese. The dough is cut into strips on the sides and crossed over the filling in the form of a pigtail. Grease the roll with beaten egg and send it to the oven for 20 minutes at 200 °C. This pie is good both hot and cold.
Croissants in a vegetable way
Who said croissants should be sweet? Tender spinach with salted cheese is felt very organically in the puff pastry. Just for this recipe, the puff pastry “We Eat at Home” for homemade croissants was created. All you need is to cut the layer into 8 parts, fill it with filling and roll it up in the form of beautiful crescents. We will prepare the filling from spinach “Planet of vitamins”.
Tender large juicy leaves can not be thawed. Immediately throw 500 g of spinach into salted boiling water, stand for a couple of minutes, pour cold water over it and dry it on a paper towel. Finely chop all the spinach, mix with 200 g of chopped cheese. Add grated cheese. If desired, you can add 2 crumbled boiled eggs here. Give the filling an interesting accent — put a little dried oregano “Home cooking”. The bitter-tart spice will make the combination of cheese and spinach harmonious and give it a unique aroma.
Slightly roll out the layer of puff pastry, cut into 8 identical rectangles and put 1-2 tbsp of filling in the center of each. Wrap the opposite edges of the dough, shape the croissants and lubricate with yolk. We will bake them in the oven at 200 °C for 15 minutes. By the way, such pastries can be served as a snack on the festive table.
Kish with mushroom motifs
Mushroom quiche with cheese and Provencal herbs is the perfect autumn pie. The basis for it will be puff yeast dough “We Eat at Home”. When baking, it rises quickly, it turns out to be airy, and the baking itself literally melts in the mouth. For the filling, we recommend taking a mushroom assortment “Planet of vitamins”. Natural oyster mushrooms, honey mushrooms and shiitake are collected in one package. A rich bouquet of aromas and an interesting combination of mushroom flavors will make the quiche extremely tasty.
After rolling out the dough a little, we put it in a rectangular shape, make the sides and pierce it with a fork over the entire surface. We put the mold in the oven at 200 °C for 10 minutes, so that the dough turns brown. Next, we take 500 g of assorted mushrooms: large mushrooms are cut into slices, small ones are left whole. Fry them together with the onion until golden brown. We salt the filling to taste and put a little dried basil “Home cooking”. A spicy, unlike anything else, Mediterranean aroma will expressively emphasize the taste of mushrooms.
We put half of the mushrooms into the base of the dough first, then the slices of mozzarella and close them with the remaining mushrooms. Beat 200 g of thick sour cream with an egg with a mixer, pour the filling evenly. From above, we thickly cover everything with grated cheese and put the mold in the oven at 200 °C for 15-20 minutes. Serve the mushroom kish hot — let everyone fully enjoy the incomparable aroma.
Small pies for a big company
If you need to bake something in a hurry for unexpected guests, let it be baby pies with Brussels sprouts. Here again, puff pastry for homemade croissants will help us out. The pies will turn out amazing — with a lush layered texture and a rich creamy taste. You won’t have to look for fresh vegetables for a long time either. Take the Brussels sprouts “Planet of vitamins”. Juicy fleshy heads in a crispy dough will become even tastier.
Blanch 300 g of Brussels sprouts in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, dry and cut in half. We roll out the puff pastry into a thin layer, cut it into wide circles with the help of a glass and spread half a head on each. Sprinkle them with spices from the set “Master class of Italian cuisine”. A generous bouquet of Mediterranean herbs perfectly combines with vegetables, and when baking reveals a whole range of flavors in all its glory. Cover the cabbage with a slice of melted cheese, collect and pinch the edges of the dough to make pies.
Spread them on a baking sheet with parchment paper, grease with butter and bake in the oven at 180 °C for 25-30 minutes. Unexpected guests will not stay hungry and will only be happy to visit you again sometime.
Tart with cabbage is never easier
Here is another express pie that will please the whole family — tart with cauliflower from Yulia Healthy Food Near Me. We will bake it from unleavened puff pastry “We Eat at Home” with Altai butter. Thanks to this additive, the pie will acquire seductive notes and will turn out very tender. Cauliflower “Planet of vitamins” is perfectly combined with puff pastry. Large appetizing inflorescences have retained their freshness and elasticity, so the filling will be juicy and rich.
We roll out the dough into a rectangular layer and, retreating from the edges by 2-3 cm, we cut through the entire perimeter with a knife, but not through. Thus, we will designate the sides. We smear them with a mixture of 1 tsp. milk and 1 yolk, we prick the inside of the dough with a fork. Bake the tart base for 5 minutes in the oven at 180 °C.
During this time, we disassemble 400 g of cauliflower into small inflorescences and cook in boiling water for 5 minutes. Grate 150 g of Poshekhonsky cheese, set aside about a third, and mix the rest with 100 ml of milk and 3 eggs. To make the filling more interesting, we will season it with Provencal herbs “Home cooking”. The lush bouquet is made up of oregano, rosemary, basil, marjoram, tarragon, sage and other fragrant spices.
We spread the cauliflower on the baked cake, leaving the sides open. Fill everything with egg-cheese mass with Provencal herbs, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and put it in the oven preheated to 180 °C for another 20 minutes. Serve the tart warm until the cheese crust has had time to harden.
