Equipment

Instructions

  1. Set the oven to 200°C/400°F.
  2. Pie crust: Cut the butter into pieces. Mix it with the flour and salt to a crumbly mass, preferably in a food processor or by hand. Add the water and quickly work together to form a dough.
  3. Press the dough into a pie form, approx. 28 cm in diameter (for example a 12 inch cast iron skillet). Prick the dough with a fork. Put the mold in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  4. Pre-bake the dough in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes.
  5. Trim and cut the mushrooms into rough pieces. Let it "sweat" in a hot frying pan. Peel and finely chop the onion. When the liquid has evaporated, increase the heat and add the butter. Saute for a while and then add the onion. Sauté the mushrooms and onions for 1 - 2 minutes. Season with salt.
  6. Fill the pie shell with the mushrooms, onion and cheese.
  7. Whisk together eggs, cream, cayenne pepper, salt. Pour into the pie shell.
  8. Bake the pie in the middle of the oven for about 40 minutes, until it has a nice color.
  9. Serve with a green salad.
