It has been a while since I last posted an impossibly easy mini-pie recipe.

No, I have not stopped making these quick and easy mini-pies. It’s just that there are so many recipes to try out and post, plus, I had been sort of obsessed with cake-baking for a while.

The other day I made some chicken empanadas. After having used up all my pastry, I still had some chicken and cream cheese mixture left. So I thought I would use them to make some mini-pies.

Yep, nothing goes to waste in my house.

For step-by-step instructions on how to make the filling, see here.

Once the filling was ready, I mixed together my home-made Bisquick mix, milk and eggs. You can also use store-bought Bisquick mix if you prefer.

I placed a scant tablespoonful of the batter in each hole of a 12-hole muffin pan which had been sprayed with vegetable oil.

Into each muffin hole, I added about two tablespoon of filling.

Onto this, I added about 1 to 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar. (Be quite generous with the cheese.)

Finally I topped each hole with another tablespoonful of batter, and sprinkled some pepper.

These were baked for 30 minutes. Let the pies cool completely in the muffin pans before transferring onto a cooling rack, or into an air-tight container. The pies can be kept frozen for up to 3 months.Impossibly easy to make, impossibly quick to eat. 
Why not try making some of these super delicious mini-pies this weekend?
