[YoungMhal]

This savory pie features earthy mushrooms, sweet caramelized onions, and creamy goat cheese, all encased in a buttery, flaky pie crust. It’s a delicious and unique option for lunch, dinner, or as an elegant side dish.

Ingredients (Serves 6-8):​

For the Pie Crust:​

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup ice water (more if needed)

For the Filling:​

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups mushrooms (such as cremini, button, or a mix), sliced
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme (or fresh if available)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
• 1/2 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
• 3 oz goat cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt to taste

Instructions:​

1. Make the Pie Crust:​

1. In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough starts to come together.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it lightly. Form it into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:​

1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown.
2. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, along with thyme and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
4. If using, add the white wine and cook until it reduces by half. Then add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer for another 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and let the mixture cook until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Remove the filling from the heat and stir in the crumbled goat cheese and Parmesan. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

3. Assemble the Pie:​

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough into the dish and trim any excess dough, leaving about an inch overhang.
3. Pour the mushroom and onion filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
4. Fold the overhanging dough edges over the filling, creating a rustic look. Optionally, you can brush the edges with a bit of olive oil or melted butter for a golden finish.
5. Bake the pie for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.

4. Serve:​

• Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh thyme or chives for an extra touch.

Tips:​

• Add Protein: You can add cooked chicken, bacon, or sausage to the filling for added protein.
• Vegan Option: Replace the goat cheese with dairy-free cheese and use coconut cream for a fully plant-based version.
• Crust Variation: Try using puff pastry or a pre-made savory crust for a quicker option.

This mushroom, caramelized onion, and goat cheese savory pie is a unique and flavorful dish that’s perfect for any occasion!
