Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 6 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 ½ pounds baby bella (crimini) mushrooms, sliced
• ¼ cup chopped sweet onion
• ½ lemon, juiced
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 ¼ cups chicken broth
• ⅓ cup marsala wine
• 2 tablespoons half-and-half
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (17.3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees C (190 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-fat cooking spray.
2. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, and onions, stirring occasionally, until the liquid from the mushrooms has cooked down. Stir in lemon juice and thyme and simmer for 2 minutes.
3. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a separate saucepan. Whisk in flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute. Gradually add the chicken broth, marsala, and half-and-half, whisking until sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3 minutes. The sauce should be very thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the sauce broth/marsala mixture; stir well.
5. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry to fit the pie plate. Press evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate; trim the excess pastry. Spoon the mushroom mixture into the pastry shell.
6. Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry, and place on top. Trim excess, and crimp the edge to seal. Cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and mushroom mixture is bubbly (about 40 minutes). Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
