👨‍🍳 조리법

1
For the crust: Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the butter is very cold for a flaky crust.
2
Stir in the sour cream until a soft dough forms. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
3
For the filling: Sauté the chopped onions in butter in a large pot over medium heat until softened and translucent.
4
Add the chopped mushrooms and dried thyme to the pot. Cook until the mushrooms release their juices and are tender.
5
Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
6
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out 2/3 of the chilled dough to fit a 10-inch pie plate. Trim the edges.
7
Pour the mushroom filling into the pie crust. Roll out the remaining dough and cut into strips for a lattice top, or cover the pie completely. Crimp the edges to seal.
8
Whisk together the egg and milk for the glaze. Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash.
9
Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and puffed.
10
Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
