Instructions

Soak dried mushrooms in boiling water for about 15 minutes. Drain and chop. Set aside.
Heat skillet. Cook onion in extra virgin olive oil for about 2-3 minutes, until the onions become soft and translucent. Add garlic, cook an additional 30 seconds.
Add fresh mushrooms. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, then add dried mushrooms. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes before adding salt and pepper to taste. Transfer into a bowl and set aside to cool.
Mix together Bisquick mix, milk and eggs. Add a scant tablespoon of the batter into each hold of a greased 12-hole muffin pan.
Add 1/8 cup of filling, followed by cheddar. Finally top with another tablespoon of the batter, and pepper.
Bake at 180C for 30 minutes, until the pies have turned gold brown.
Cool completely before storing in fridge (2-3 days) or freezer (up to 3 months).

Note: Thaw in fridge over-night if storing in freezer before re-heating.

Tips from theAsianparent:

– According to Medical News Today, “Mushrooms are naturally low in sodium, fat, cholesterol, and calories and have often been referred to as “functional foods.” Rich in B vitamins such as riboflavin and folate, and being the only vegan source of Vitamin D, these fungi are also found to help fight cancers and diabetes, improve heart health and stimulate immunity.

– Feel free to switch the mushroom options to any of your favourites – golden enoki, white button, portobello – the choice is yours!

– Cheese and mushrooms are like the best of friends – who doesn’t love them together? Cheddar cheese provides the body with calcium, Vitamin D, potassium and proteins – exactly what a growing child needs! Bake these for breakfast and they’ll definitely be a hit with the kids!
