Ingredients
  • 1 pound mushrooms, quartered or diced (I use a combination of cremini, shiitake, and portabello)
  • 1 bunch leeks, washed and sliced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup half and half or milk
  • 1.5 cups grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese (about 4 ounces)
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme (or 2 teaspoons dried)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 9-inch pie crust
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  2. Combine mushrooms, leeks, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a large bowl and toss to combine, making sure everything is well coated with the oil. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Return to bowl and stir in cheese.
  3. Prick pie shell with fork and prebake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned. Remove and lower oven temperature to 350 F.
  4. Lightly beat eggs in a medium bowl. Add the half and half and thyme, and more salt and pepper to taste. Spread mushroom mixture into the pie pan in an even layer and pour half-and-half/egg mixture on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until lightly browned and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
