Savory pumpkin and mushroom pie is an appetizer you can also serve as a main dish or as an alternative for lunch or dinner. The mushroom and pumpkin pie is excellent both eaten hot and at room temperature, making it perfect to take to work for lunch, or to serve at a buffet. To prepare this savory pie with pumpkin and mushrooms, I used a mix of sautéed mushrooms, simply cooked with garlic and parsley. Alternatively, you can use just one type of mushroom like champignons or pioppini, fresh or frozen mushrooms, or you can buy ready-made sautéed mushrooms in a can from the supermarket.

How to Prepare the Savory Pumpkin and Mushroom Pie

Let’s start preparing the Savory Pumpkin and Mushroom Pie, finely chop the onion, add some extra virgin olive oil,
the pumpkin,
the salt,
the pepper
and half of the broth,
add some parsley and cook the pumpkin by gradually adding the remaining broth as it gets absorbed. Cook the pumpkin and then set it aside.
Pour the ricotta cheese into a bowl,
in another bowl, beat the eggs with a fork, then add them to the ricotta
and mix until you get a creamy texture.
place the puff pastry in the tart pan,
add the previously cooked pumpkin,
the sautéed mushrooms
and the ricotta and egg cream,
spread it over the entire savory pie
and fold the edges of the puff pastry towards the inside.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F (180°C) for 30 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of oven; the puff pastry should be golden and puffed. Once cooked, remove the savory pie from the oven and serve it hot or at room temperature.
