How to Make the Savory Pie with Mushrooms and Potatoes
To prepare the savory pie with mushrooms and potatoes, first boil the potatoes with the skin on, after washing them well. It will take about 30 minutes, but you can check the cooking with a fork. If the tines go in easily, they are cooked. Drain, peel, slice, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Clean the champignon mushrooms by removing the end of the stem, peel the cap, and finally slice them. Place them in a pan with oil, salt, and pepper and sauté quickly for 10 minutes, or until they have dried. Set aside.
Crack the egg into a bowl, add the cream and beat everything together. Cut the Asiago into cubes.
Now compose your quiche: unroll the puff pastry in a round springform pan of 24 cm (9.5 inches) in diameter, arrange the now-cold potatoes on the bottom, continue with the champignon mushrooms and the Asiago cubes. Finally, cover everything with the cream.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F (180°C) for 25 minutes, or in an air fryer at 338°F (170°C) for 20 minutes. Serve warm. Enjoy your meal!
Storage of the Savory Pie with Mushrooms and Potatoes
