Step-by-Step Instructions for Mushroom & Leek Pie
- Roll out your single-crust pie dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Fit the dough into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming excess, and chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add sliced leek and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender. Set aside to cool.
- In the same skillet, add remaining butter over medium-high. Sauté your choice of mushrooms for 4-6 minutes until tender. Combine cooked leeks with mushrooms, adding salt and pepper. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread half of the shredded cheddar cheese in the chilled crust. Layer sautéed mushroom and leek mixture, then top with remaining cheese.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy whipping cream. Pour custard mixture evenly over the pie filling.
- Bake pie in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until set and lightly golden. Check doneness by inserting a knife; it should come out clean.
- Allow pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with minced parsley if desired.

Notes
For best results, keep mushrooms dry by wiping with a damp cloth. Whisk eggs and cream thoroughly to avoid curdling. Chill the dough to prevent shrinkage and allow the pie to cool before slicing for easier serving.
