Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, etc.), sliced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth until the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Place one pie crust into the bottom of the prepared pie dish. Pour the mushroom filling evenly over the crust.
- Place the second pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust lightly with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pot pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use any combination of mushrooms you prefer for a deeper flavor.
- For an easier cleanup, you can make this as individual pot pies using ramekins.
- If you want a richer color, add a splash of dry sherry when adding the broth.
