HAM AND CHEESE PIE
The entire Kitchen Crew gobbled this ham and cheese pie up in no time. The Monterey Jack cheese melts really smooth and is rich, but the savory ham balances out the pie. The crescent dough makes the perfect buttery light crust. So good!

- 2. Combine remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Pour into crust.
- 3. Roll out each remaining triangle until longest side is 8 inches
- 4. Cut into 1/2 inch strips. Criss-cross strips over filling to form lattice top. Flute the edge.
- 5. Bake 40 to 50 minutes until knife inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out clean. Do not over bake.
HAM, CHEESE & MUSHROOM TURNOVERS

Steps:
- The first thing to do is to make a thick white sauce that will be the base of the turnover filling. Bring the milk to a simmer, then add the butter and flour paste. Whisk the paste into the simmering milk and allow it to boil for 3-4 mins, whisking gently all the time to prevent it from catching. You should now have a very thick white sauce. Cool the sauce in a bowl. Fry the mushrooms in the oil for 3-5 mins until golden, then leave to cool.
- Place the ham, cheese and mushrooms into a bowl, then gradually add the white sauce until everything is well coated. Finally, add the herbs.
- Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to about the thickness of a £1 coin and cut out 4 saucer-size rounds (about 18cm wide), re-rolling the trimmings if you need to. Brush the edges of each round with beaten egg. Spoon the mixture onto 1 side of each round, then fold over and seal the edges well. The turnovers can now be frozen for up to 1 month. Brush the turnover with the remaining egg, then chill for 30 mins.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet and bake for about 35 mins until puffed up and golden. Leave to cool slightly and enjoy warm.

CRUSTLESS SPINACH QUICHE
I served this crustless quiche at a church lunch, and I had to laugh when one guy told me how much he disliked vegetables. Many people were surprised by how much they loved this veggie-filled quiche recipe-and he was one of them! -Melinda Calverley, Janesville, Wisconsin

CHEDDAR CHEESE AND MUSHROOM PIE
This is a good side dish but can also be used as an entree with salad and garlic bread. The original recipe called for swiss cheese, but my family likes cheddar better, so it is now Cheddar Cheese and Mushroom pie. Using a food processor for the mushrooms and onions really cuts prep time.

MUSHROOM CRUSTED HAM AND CHEESE PIE
The crust is actually stuffed mushrooms in disguise! It's also filled with a great tasting herbed ham and cheese custard. I created this recipe when I found myself with an abundance of mushrooms and leftover ham in the fridge and an urge to cook something different for lunch! It turned out to be a savory sensation.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.)
- In a medium pan, saute mushrooms and onion in 3 1/2 tablespoons of the butter until just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt and pepper.
- Butter the bottom and sides of a 10 inch deep dish pie pan with remaining butter. Press mushroom mixture into pan evenly on bottom and sides. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mushrooms.
- In a blender, beat together cream cheese, eggs and hot pepper sauce until well incorporated. Stir in diced ham. Pour over the shredded cheese and bake 30 minutes or until set in center. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh mushrooms, sharp cheddar cheese, and thinly sliced ham will make a big difference in the flavor of the pie.
- Don't overcook the mushrooms. They should be cooked just until they are soft and browned.
- Be careful not to overfill the pie crust. Otherwise, the filling will bubble over and make a mess.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set.
Conclusion:
This mushroom-crusted ham and cheese pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. It's packed with flavor and sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try!
