Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 300 grams silverbeet (Swiss chard), roughly chopped
- 250 grams ricotta cheese
- 150 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 50 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg, ground
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons milk, for brushing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and are golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the silverbeet and cook until wilted, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, feta, parmesan, eggs, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Stir the cooled mushroom and silverbeet mixture into the cheese mixture, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
Line a 9-inch pie dish with one sheet of puff pastry, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.
Pour the filling into the prepared pastry shell, spreading it out evenly.
Place the second puff pastry sheet over the top of the filling. Trim the edges and crimp to seal.
Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape while baking.
Brush the top of the pie with milk to encourage even browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Slice and enjoy your delicious Silverbeet Swiss Chard and Mushroom Pie!
