This delicious broccoli and cheddar mini pot pie features creamy Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Farmstyle Shreds and is the perfect cozy dinner.
Ingredients
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups chopped broccoli florets
1 cup of shredded carrots
1⁄2tsp salt
1⁄4tsp black pepper
1⁄4tsp garlic powder
1⁄4cup all-purpose flour
1 cup shredded chicken
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C)
In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened. Sprinkle the flour over it, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour to make a roux. Gradually pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth while stirring continuously to create a creamy sauce. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens. Add in the chicken, carrots, broccoli, and cheddar.
Simmer until the sauce thickens. Spoon the broccoli cheddar mixture into 2-3 large ramekins.
Add puff pastry to the top of the ramekins, cutting off any excess. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg.
Bake the mini pot pies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the mini broccoli cheddar pot pies to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious mini pot pies!
Tip: Use extra scraps of the puff pastry by rolling them into a ball, and rolling it out for an extra puff pastry top
