Ingredients
- 1 pie crust, either storebought or homemade
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 large leek (or two medium leeks, white parts only, finely chopped, about 3 cups)
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme, fresh or dried
- 1 pound mushrooms (any kind, stemmed, cleaned, and roughly chopped)
- 1/2 cup shredded gruyere
- 1 large egg (whisked)
- flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Roll out your pie crust into a roughly 9-inch circle. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, combine 3 tbsp of olive oil, garlic, leeks, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are soft, about 4 minutes.
- Push the leeks to the perimeter of the pan, then add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the mushrooms.
- Cook until the mushrooms have given off their juices and then shriveled, about 10 minutes, leaving the leeks on the perimeter. Once mushrooms are cooked, fold the leeks in.
- Sprinkle the gruyere over the rolled-out pie crust.
- Spoon the mushroom-leek filling into the center, spreading it in an even layer and leaving a 1-inch border. Then fold the edges of the crust over the filling, overlapping as you work your way around the perimeter.
- Brush the dough with the whisked egg and sprinkle with the sea salt.
- Bake in the heated oven until the crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes,
