Mushrooms are great in almost any form of cooking so when I saw this simple recipe for a mushroom puff pie in one of Nigel Slater’s cookbooks, I knew I had to give it a try! And who doesn’t love puff pastry either?
Letting a mountain of chopped onions to cook on their own.
Fresh thyme to complement the mushrooms.
Then add in all the diced brown mushrooms into the pot too.
And they cook slowly with onions.
Mixed in some cream as well.
Lay out the creamy mushroom-onion mixture on the puff pastry.
Some nice melty Taleggio cheese to put in the pie.
Was actually kinda hard to cut properly, being so soft.
Randomly putting chunks of cheese on the mushroom mixture.
Baked till the puff pastry is golden brown!
A nice slice of mushroom puff pastry to go~

I spent some time cooking Russian food a few years back and you’ve just reminded me that some of the best dishes were the savory pies. I will definitely be trying this out in the near future. Thanks for the inspiration!

no seasoning required? and you just bought the pastry off the shelve?

Well just some salt and pepper in the mushroom mixture is enough, I prefer the all-natural flavours.

wow looks good and it doesn’t seem too hard to make either, was it?

Nope, it was really easy! And to make it even tastier next time, I should grill the mushrooms first.

Thanks to you, now I can make my own mushroom puff pie, (though it didn’t turn out as crispy and golden brown as yours!!). 
But,thank you so much! I am not an avid reader of your blog, though i try my best to avoid reading your posts in the wee hours of the morning! 
Btwww, is there a way i could contact you personally, maybe email? 
Thank you!
