Creamy, fragrant mushrooms encased in crisp, buttery pastry makes this creamy mushroom pot pie the perfect vegetarian comfort food.

Creamy mushroom pot pie

It’s Monday and once again, we’re entering this week with rainy, overcast and miserable weather. Not that I’m complaining though. It’s a known fact that I am much more of a cold weather person than a warm weather person (but please can we have some blue skies in two weeks when the twins will be celebrating their 6th birthday!!). Plus, when the weather is grey and gloomy I get to make comfort food. And we all know that I have a serious infatuation with comfort food.

Last week when we were faced with another grey day, I was craving pastry. Crisp, buttery, golden pastry filled with, well…whatever really. I didn’t care what was in the pastry, I really just wanted the pastry. I also didn’t really feel like eating meat and so decided to make a creamy mushroom filling flavored with fresh thyme, garlic and a squeeze of lemon would make for a perfect mushroom pot pie. Just imagine that for a second. Crisp, buttery pastry giving way to creamy, fragrant mushrooms. Are you drooling yet? Only me? What I love about this so much is that it delivers big time on flavor, it is 100% comforting plus it’s really quick to knock together. Plus it’s vegetarian. Creamy mushroom pot pie for everyone!

How to make creamy mushroom pot pie

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. In a large pan, saute chopped mushrooms until golden brown. Do this in batches if your pan isn’t big enough to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will result in the mushrooms steaming instead of frying. Once all the mushrooms are golden brown, add the garlic and thyme and cook for another 30 seconds. Pour in the vegetable stock and cream and allow to simmer and reduce until the sauce covers the back of a spoon easily. If you want a thicker sauce, mix 2 teaspoons cornstarch into the vegetable stock and allow to cook until the filling is smooth and creamy.

Transfer the pot pie filling to a pie dish or individual baking dishes. Roll thawed puff pastry out on a floured counter and cut into rounds big enough to fit your dishes. Top each pie with a piece of pastry then crimp the edges and make a few small cuts into the pastry to allow steam to escape. Place the pot pies in the oven and allow to bake until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

How long to bake pot pie

25-30 minutes. Because all the ingredients in the filling are already cooked, you just want to make sure that the pastry is golden brown and cooked and that the filling is warmed through.
