Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet and carefully line the pie dish with it, trimming off any excess pastry. Prick the base with a fork and chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain, then chop into small pieces.
In the same pan, sauté the button mushrooms until golden and slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt, then remove from heat.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set them aside with the cooked mushrooms and bacon.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, heavy cream, 60 grams of grated cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Take the chilled pie crust from the refrigerator. Spread the cooked mushrooms, tomatoes, and bacon evenly over the base.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Crack the remaining egg on top of the pie for a rustic look.
Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
