Breakfast Pot Pie
- FOR THE POT PIES:
- 1 package Puff Pastry, 14-17 Ounce Size
- 4 whole Eggs (Or More If Needed)
- FOR THE MUSHROOM AND HERB GRAVY:
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 2 stalks Celery, Chopped
- 2 whole Carrots, Peeled And Chopped Into Half-Moons
- 12 ounces, weight Baby Portabella Mushrooms, Sliced
- 1/2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
- 1/2 teaspoons Dried Rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoons Dried Oregano
- 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
- 2 cups Milk (I Used 2 %)
- 1/4 cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
- 1/4 teaspoons Freshly Grated Nutmeg
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Preheat the oven according to the package for the puff pastry. Cut the pastry into four squares and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake according to package directions. When done set them aside.
- For the gravy:
- Put the butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted add the garlic, celery and carrots with a pinch of salt. Saute the vegetables for 5-6 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the mushrooms, thyme, rosemary and oregano and continue to cook for another 10-12 minutes or until the mushrooms are very soft and fragrant.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly to distribute. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is bubbly. Add the milk, Parmesan cheese and nutmeg and stir to combine. Allow the gravy to come to a simmer, stirring occasionally as it thickens.
- While the gravy thickens, fry the eggs according to your preference. I like mine over-easy so that the yolk is runny; it mixes well with the gravy!
- When the gravy thickens, add salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the pot pies:
- Arrange one square of the baked puff pastry on a plate. Ladle the gravy on top of the puff pastry. Place one egg on top.
- Notes:
- I used dry herbs for this because I didn't have any fresh. The flavors came through very well. However, if you have fresh herbs on hand, I would use those instead.
- If you, your family or your guests don't do mushrooms, exchange them for one pound of breakfast sausage. Or just omit the mushrooms; add the herbs when you are cooking the vegetables and cook the vegetables longer, until very soft. Continue to follow the recipe directions as written following adding the flour.
- In exchange for the puff pastry, you can serve these on breakfast biscuits or toast.
- This recipe will serve four people a healthy breakfast but can serve more if you include hash browns, fruit, etc.
- It would be really helpful to have a second person cooking the eggs while you man the gravy. I was definitely doing some multi-tasking while cooking this!
