Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 10.58 oz mushrooms (fresh cultivated)
- 1.76 oz smoked bacon
- 1 egg (large)
- cup cooking cream
- parsley
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- pepper
Tools
- Pan
- Cake pan 11 inches
- Bowl
Preparation
Clean the mushrooms by removing the end part and all soil residues. Wipe them with a damp cloth or rinse them quickly.
Slice or chop them, then cook them in a pan with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt (1). It will only take a few minutes, over medium-high heat.
Let them cool, in the meantime cut the bacon into strips or cubes. You can brown it in a pan without oil if you want to make it less fatty, the one I used was already quite lean and there was no need.
In a bowl, beat the egg with the cream, a pinch of pepper, and a handful of chopped parsley.
Unroll the puff pastry and place it in the cake pan, folding it along the edges. Prick it with a fork, then add the mushrooms and bacon (2).
Finally, pour the egg mixture and let it spread over the entire surface (3).
Put the savory pie in the fan oven at 356°F and bake it for about 30 minutes, or until the pastry is dry and golden.
The savory pie with mushrooms and bacon is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before cutting and serving… enjoy your meal!
