Tiddlywinks Toadstool Pie from I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence
- 1 baked piecrust (I used ready made puff pastry for this which was baked in a 20cm flan tin)
Cream Sauce:
-
3 tablespoons of butter
-
3 tablespoons of flour
-
1 cup of light cream
-
Salt and Pepper
Mushroom Filling:
-
1 lb./500grams fresh mushrooms, sliced (I added 100g cubes of firm tofu to this)
-
2 tablespoons of butter
-
2 small garlic cloves, crushed
-
3 shallots, minced
-
2 egg yolks mixed with 1 tablespoon of light cream
-
Salt and Pepper
-
2 tablespoons of white wine
Topping:
- 1/2 cup of grated Swiss cheese
Instructions
Step 1 - Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour and cook until smooth. Add cream and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Step 2 - Saute mushrooms in butter with garlic and shallots. Drain off any liquid. Add the mushrooms to the cream sauce and the egg mixture. Add salt, pepper, and wine.
Step 3 - Pour into pie shell (and its best piled high in a smaller dish, it looks better bountiful). Top with cheese. Bake at 350F/180C degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and crust is brown.
