Ingredients
Method
In large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in leeks, onion, thyme, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 7 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup water, vinegar and mustard, scraping up browned bits; cook until onion is caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Stir in spinach and peas; cook until spinach is wilted and peas are hot, about 3 minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup of the Gruyere cheese. Let cool slightly.
On lightly floured surface, roll out pastry into 16- x 12-inch (40 x 30 cm) rectangle. Cut into twelve 4-inch (10 cm) squares; press each into muffin cup. Fill each with 1/4 cup filling, pressing firmly; sprinkle with some of the remaining cheese. Fold 4 corners of dough toward centre, pressing lightly to seal.
Whisk egg yolk with 2 tsp water; brush over top of pastry. Bake in 400 F (200 C) oven until pastry is golden and filling is bubbly, about 20 minutes. Let cool on rack for 5 minutes.
