Yesterday, I logged on and found out it was national pie day. Well, being the obedient gamer that I am I have to make pie. The first thing that leaps to mind when I think pie is definitely a dessert, and I’ve made one of those too. Since today is hardcore hobbit day though I figured I should post what I think is a most hobbit of hobbit pies, the mushroom pie ofcourse. In the game the pie is made simply with mushrooms and pie crust. Pie crust for this pie was a phyllo dough, I had some leftover from a strudel craving…don’t worry I’ll post that another day. I made my pies as tarts but you can make a full on pie using the same method. I just like the portion control and epic cuteness of a hobbit tart.
- 8 oz crimini mushrooms (any kind will do, this is the type I used), sliced
- 4 sheets phyllo dough
- 1 can reduced fat cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg white
- 1 sprig rosemary
- salt and pepper to taste
- cooking spray
- Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough. Spray with cooking spray and top with another layer of phyllo dough. Repeat until all layers have been sprayed.
- Carefully cut the phyllo dough with a knife into 12 squares. Spray a muffin tin, place each layered square into a muffin cup forming a crust.
- Heat a pan to medium and saute garlic and mushrooms. Pour into blender. Add mushroom soup, rosemary, egg white, salt and pepper. Blend to desired consistency.
- Divide the mixture into the 12 phyllo cups. Bake at 400F for 20-25 minutes.
Serves 12. Each mushroom tart contains 37 calories, 1 gram of fat, and .5 gram of fibre. If you have extra calories and fat to spend that day I highly recommend topping the pies with a bit of cheese in the last 5 minutes of cooking. My husband said his mozzarella topped one were nummy. I recommend goat cheese…but then I just love goat cheese on everything. These would be great to serve at a party or keep to yourself omnomnom. If you are making this as a pie all you do is fit the sheets into a pie pan instead of cutting them up, the cooking time is increased by 5 minutes. Pair this with a salad and you have dinner!!

These look great! We are going to make your meatballs and subs this weekend. 🙂 We are currently doing Weight Watchers, so using this blog to add additional ideas has been awesome for us!
That is awesome! Weight watchers is a great program. It really helps make portion control easy. Less time stressing about the food and more time on tasty is always a good thing.
mmm those meatball subs were good. I definitely have to make those again, and soon!
What a great idea for mini pies! Yum! 🙂
