Description
The Caramelized Onion & Mushroom Pot Pie is a hearty vegetarian comfort dish featuring a rich, savory filling of sweet caramelized onions and earthy mushrooms, encased in a buttery, flaky crust baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 8 oz button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 pie crust, chilled
Instructions
- Slice the onions thinly and cook them slowly over low heat in butter until they turn a deep golden brown and become sweet and tender.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the caramelized onions and cook over medium heat until their moisture evaporates and they become browned and fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked onions and mushrooms, stirring to coat them evenly. Gradually add the vegetable broth and milk or cream, stirring constantly to form a smooth, thick sauce. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the filling into a pie dish. Cover with the chilled pie crust, trimming and crimping the edges to seal. Cut vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35–45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky, and the filling is hot and bubbling.
Notes
- This dish is perfect for cozy nights or family gatherings.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or carrots for additional flavor.
