Little Mushroom & Leaf Spinach Pie

Mushrooms sautéed in lemon zest, garlic and parsley, mixed with spinach, feta & béchamel in a short-crust pastry case.

What we suggest...

So you are wanting to serve your Little Mushroom pie to your friends for a tasty lunch? Perhaps the perfect way to finish it off would be some chunky wedges of Roasted Butternut Squash...

Wedges of Roasted Butternut Squash

  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • 1 tea spoons of chili flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly milled black pepper
  • Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400°F, 200°C
  1. Using a sharp knife cut the butternut squash into wedges, keeping the skin on but removing the seeds.
  2. Arrange the wedges in a large roasting tin.
  3. Sprinkle over the chili flakes, garlic, olive oil and seasoning.
  4. Roast for approximately 35 mins turning once during cooking.
  5. Serve with warm Little Mushroom and Leaf Spinach pies.

I tried this for the first time today….. As a student it was a bit of a treat but boy I am glad I bought this… Absolutely brilliant little pie! Going to have a go at trying to make something like this….. however I doubt it will taste as good as that! Thank you!

I work as a Staff Nurse on a busy ward of a local hospital. When doing night shifts it’s nice to sit down to a tasty treat during a well earned break and I think I’ve found the perfect partner; a little Higgidy mushroom and leaf spinach pie.

Hi i sampled your higgidy mushroom pie when i was down south. Ive been a vegetarian for over 37 years and ive never tasted a pie as fab as this. Unfortunately no one within a 40 mile radius sells this one and in fact only have 3 vegetarian options, one of which sadly wasnt to my taste. Can you advise where i would get them. Ive tried ordering through sainsburys edinburgh store but the minute i put my post code it it reverts to only 3 options not the mushroom pie. I hope you can help as i was really looking. Forward to having it for my christmas dinner. Thanks

I was very lucky and received a voucher from Higgidy so off to Sainsburys to spend it!! I’ve had this pie before and loved it so even though there were others to choose from … this one came home with me. It’s now waiting expectantly in my fridge for its debut … might eat it today, or keep it for tomorrow; might even freeze it but I know that whenever I eat it I’ll love it and be sorry that I don’t have another one :o)

Have just had a Little Mushroom & Spinach pie and thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Very tasty and the ‘Little pie’ was also very filling – thank you Higgidy.

I have just done an inventory of my freezer and imagine my joy when tucked at the back I found one of your mushroom and spinach pies. I really enjoy your pies but since my Sainsburys in Stirling has been upgraded and made bigger, they have stopped stocking your products!! Don’t understand this. Please can you tell me where I might be able to purchase your products?
Yours hopefully
Rebecca
PS The comment on m freezer list, next to your pie, is ‘savour, this is the last one!’

I found this little pie at the back of the freezer where I’d forgotten it for quite a bit longer than the recommended freezing time. Defrosted it and cooked it tonight and it was WONDERFUL! Looking forward to trying a fresh one next time :-)

Hi,

After a long search I had given up getting Higgidy Pies in Scotland, but at the week-end I passed a Sainsbury store in the West End of Glasgow and thought why not pop-in and check just in case. Yes, there they were a (small) quantity of a (very small) selection of Higgidy Pies, it was a great sight and it was a very enyoyable treat that night to eat. Hopefully this is not a one off and I don’t have to wait till I go down south for more of your wonderful pies.

The pies ( mushroom and spinach) were well filled and really tasted of the ingredients all contained in a wonderful pie crust. Sadly the pies were not well displayed and I fear could be missed, which might mean this could be a one off for local branches .

On a positive note it was a pleasant surprise that was really enjoed by all, thanks.

This has become a regular with us at home. But I find one is not enough. Would you guys like to make it a bit bigger? One thing I would love is a true vegetable pie (without sweetcorn) in a dark sauce. There doesn’t appear to be any on the market, and based on your veggi pies, I buy them all, I know yours would be great. I would also be available for taste testing.

I moved down south for work a year ago, and I haven’t been able to find your *Mushroom and Leaf Spinach Pie *in any of the supermarkets where I now live. I actually thought you must have stopped making them, so came to your website to voice my concerns.

I live in Windsor, work in Maidenhead. Is there some way you can impress your mushroom and spinach pies onto the supermarkets in my area? They sell other varieties of your pies, just not my favourite one!

Yours in hope

Tracy

Just tried my first ever higgidy pie. Little Spinach and Mushroom. I had it with cauliflower cheese and carrots. It was YUM with a capital Y U and M. Can I suggest you make it more obvious which are Vegetarian friendly? I know appealing to meat eaters too for these options is great but snap judgements on supermarket websites or in the aisles may have made me miss this delicious experience. I am now off to share my joy with my 171 facebook frenemies/enemies and friends. Don’t compromise and you will make a loyal customer out of me. Higgidy!

“I just love the little muishroom and leaf spinach pie – yum yum. The* higlight of my week* was finding of them reduced at Sainsbury’s. While I will happliy pay full price I do like a baragain – so one for tea and two in the freezer for me. I’ve no idea why the poor little things get remaindered – but everyone else’s loss is my gain.”

“I just had my first of what I am sure will be many of your pies, the skinny mushroom, which was really tasty! Please could you make some meaty versions for your skinny range? And I’d love it if there was a beef pie available without stilton! Thanks for providing reasonably-priced, wholesome and extremely tasty food.”
