Recipe Box, Ham & Mushroom Alfredo Pot Pie and Pizza

the Painted Apron

11 years ago

It’s time to start thinking pot pies

Full of meat and vegetables

With a buttery flaky crust

This version is a little unconventional, ham instead of chicken

Mushrooms and asparagus instead of peas and carrots

A creamy mushroom alfredo sauce

Gruyere cheese to help bind the ingredients together

Assemble this pie like you would a quiche

Put the pie crust dough in a deep pie pan and coat with a layer of mustard or honey mustard [optional]

Layer in the onions, ham, cheese, asparagus, and mushrooms

Pour sauce slowly over all

Instead of a top crust, I sprinkled the pie with finely grated Parmesan. You could also use breadcrumbs or a pie crust lattice

You can prepare this earlier in the day and refrigerate it for several hours before baking. Do not refrigerate overnight as the vegetables might become soggy.

This is a twist on chicken pot pie that has ham, mushrooms and asparagus and only 1 crust

Microwave asparagus in a towel on high for 2 minutes. Cut into one inch pieces and place on top of cheese.
Saute mushrooms over medium high heat in the butter from the onions, adding more olive oil if necessary, until golden and juices have released. Place in pie.
Slowly pour mushroom alfredo sauce over all and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes. Let pie sit for a few minutes before cutting

Notes

If you can’t find Mushroom Alfredo Sauce, any Alfredo Sauce will work

You can also make a quick pizza with this sauce

Top a sliced loaf piece of french bread with ham pieces, cover with sauce and Parmesan and bake at 400 for 10 minutes

Cut into pieces to enjoy as a snack or with soup or salad
