Patty shell with mushrooms and thyme


This is a wonderful warm dish for a nice long lunch in the week-end.

Patty shells with filling is classic Danish food also known as "Grandmama Food".

I am big fan of patty shells with various fillings. The classic filling in Denmark is made of white asparagus and chicken. However, I think this filling is my favourite patty shell filling.

If you making to much filling or you are eating too little, you can always freeze any left overs to later use.

Patty shell with mushrooms and thyme: serves 8 - 12 patty shells
  • 250 g mushrooms
  • 1 carrot
  • 4 shallots
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 150 g bacon

  • 2-2½ dl whipping cream (38% fat)

  2. Peel the carrot and cut into small pieces.
  3. Peel and mince the shallots and garlic finely.
  4. Place the bacon in a cooking pot and slowly melt the fat.
  5. Add rasp oil, thyme leafs and the vegetables to the melted bacon fat.
  6. Let it fry together for 10 minutes without it taking colour.
