Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and eggs until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle or circle, depending on your preference. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Spread the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a border around the edges.
-
Sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese over the vegetables.
-
Carefully pour the cream and egg mixture over the filling, allowing it to seep into the vegetables and cheese.
-
Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the filling, creating a rustic border.
-
Bake the Spinach and Mushroom Flamiche in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
-
Once baked, remove the flamiche from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
-
Garnish with freshly picked thyme leaves for a pop of freshness before serving.
