Mushroom Pie

I have some nice mushrooms in the fridge. My favorite mushroom dish is mushroom pie.

From Enchanted Broccolli Forest by Mollie Katzen (modified by me)

1 Tbs butter
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 lb mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup minced onions
2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
3 Tbs unbleached white flour
2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 egg
1 cup firm yougurt
fresh black pepper to taste
1/2 cup grated cheese
1/2 cup minced fresh parsely
1 pie crust, prebaked

Preheat oven to 350 deg. Melt butter in large deep skillet. Add onion and salt cooking until soft. Add mushrooms and lemon juice. Gradually sprinkle in the flour, mustard and herbs, stirring as you go. Beat together the egg, yogurt, black pepper, cheese, and parsely in a bowl. Add the sauted mushroom mixture. Pour filling into a prebaked pie crust. Top with extra cheese if you like. Bake for 30 mins. Cool before cutting.

This sounds absolutely scrumptious! I love mushroom pies, so I’m definitely going to try this out. I think it will go great with a mushroom soup or an herbal mushroom tea. Is there a particular mushroom that you prefer for this pie, or would there not be much of a difference?
