Smart Mushroom Pie

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 1 roll of topping dough
• 200 g mushrooms, e.g. button mushrooms or a wild mix
• 150 g cottage cheese
• 1 ½ dl vegetable stock
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 onion(s)
• 1 garlic clove(s)
• 1 handful of fresh herbs, e.g. parsley, chives, rosemary and thyme
• salt and pepper
• nutmeg
• curry powder
• a little olive oil, for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

For the filling, chop the onion and mushrooms and sauté in olive oil. Then press in the garlic. Add the cottage cheese and deglaze with the vegetable stock. Simmer until almost no liquid remains. Season with fresh herbs and spices. Cut a pie lid out of the puff pastry (about 1 cm larger than the pie/gratin dish), line the greased dish with the remaining dough, and pull up the edges. Then pour the filling into the resulting pastry case and cover with the prepared pastry lid. Press the edges together and make furrows in them with a fork. Then poke a few decorative holes in the pastry lid to allow steam to escape. Brush the pie with egg yolk and place in the oven preheated to 200°C for around 25 minutes. Variation: If you don’t have a pie/gratin dish, you can also make small pies in muffin tins. These are also great for parties and buffets.
