Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 365°F (185°C).
- Mix all ingredients for the pie crust in a food processor for 1-2 minutes, until you get a firm dough. If you don’t have a food processor, just knead the ingredients together in a bowl using either a fork or your hands. Let rest in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes.
- Roll out dough, about 1/4" (1/2 cm) thick, between two sheets of parchment paper. You can also spread out the dough with well-oiled hands or a spatula directly in a non-stick pie pan. If you use a springform pan, place parchment paper between the ring and the bottom to make it easier to losen the baked pie.
- Clean mushrooms and fry in butter until golden. Add thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Whisk together the rest of the ingredients and pour into the pie crust.
- Add mushrooms. Save a few pretty ones for decoration / serving. Bake for 30 minutes or until the pie gets a nice golder color and the filling is set. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving, and serve with some leafy greens on the side.
Tips
This pie can be prepared in advance and it stores well in the freezer.
Thaws best at room temperature. You can gently reheat in a microwave or the oven at a low temperature. Protect the edges with aluminum foil to prevent burning when reheating in the oven.
Recommended special equipment

Cremini or other fresh mushrooms should substitute well in this recipe.
The pan size will be flexible with the key being to press the dough out to 1/4" thickness. A 9" round pie plate would be a good option.
Hi, Theresa! The crust is not prebaked.
It would be worth a try. Cheddar may make the filling greasier but it may be OK.
