Ingredients

  • 1 cup white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (~75 g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 large eggs

  • ½ cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or Swiss)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour (~150 g)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

  1. Mix flour and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly.

  2. Add ice water gradually until dough holds together.

  3. Roll into a 9-inch pie dish. Prick base with fork. Chill for 15 min.

Pre-Bake Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Line crust with parchment and add pie weights or beans.

  3. Bake 10 min, remove weights, and bake another 5 min.

Prepare the Filling

  1. Sauté onion in olive oil for 2–3 min.

  2. Add garlic and all mushrooms. Cook until tender and moisture evaporates (~8–10 min). Season with thyme, salt, pepper.

Assemble Custard:

  1. Whisk eggs, milk, Gruyère, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Combine & Bake:

  1. Spread mushrooms in pre-baked crust.

  2. Pour custard over top.

  3. Bake 35–40 min or until center is set. Cool slightly before slicing.

Tips

  1. Get creative: Experiment with different cheeses like Parmesan, Swiss, or goat cheese.

  2. Vegetarian twist: Substitute the Gruyère with smoked Gouda for a delicious vegetarian version.

  3. Herb infusion: Add a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs like thyme or chives to the custard.
