Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Roll out the pie dough to about 1/8-inch thick and place it into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and flute the edges, then chill in the refrigerator.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped leeks and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender. Remove from heat.
  3. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-6 minutes until tender. Mix in leeks, salt, and pepper, then let cool.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese in the chilled crust, add the cool mushroom and leek mixture, and top with remaining cheese.
  5. Whisk together eggs and heavy cream in a bowl, then pour over the filling in the pie.
  6. Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes until the center is set and a knife comes out clean. The crust should be golden and the top puffed.
  7. Let the pie cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

To prevent a soggy pie, ensure mushrooms are well-cooked until moisture evaporates. Chill the crust before baking for best results. Whisk eggs and cream thoroughly for a cohesive filling.
