What is My Take on Mushroom Pie?
Let’s be honest: Mushroom pies can sometimes feel like bland veggie mush under a crust. But not this one.
My version amps up the flavor with leek, thyme, garlic, and caramelized mushrooms (yes, we brown them properly—we are not here for soggy mushrooms). The veggies keep things hearty, the cream makes everything luscious, and the phyllo topping? It’s the easiest way to get a beautiful, bakery-style finish without spending 45 minutes on pastry.
If savory pot pies and creamy casseroles had a delicious little woodland baby… it would be this Easy Mushroom Pie.

Ingredients

Step By Step Instructions
Step1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On the stovetop, add one tablespoon of cooking oil to a large sauté pan. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until the liquid is released and the mushrooms are brown. 5-7 minutes
Step2: Add potato, leek, carrot, and celery, then cook until the potato starts to soften. 3 to 5 minutes
Step3: Add garlic, flour, and thyme; stir until no flour is visible.
Step4: Stirring constantly, gradually pour in broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. 5-7 minutes
Step5: Stir in cream, salt, and pepper, then remove from heat. Taste and season as needed.
Step6: Pour the mixture into a large baking dish. Layer sheets of phyllo dough over the mixture. Tuck any overhang into the pan—cover mixture one sheet at a time.
Step7: Brush or drizzle butter over the dough and sprinkle sesame seeds over the butter.
Step8: Place it in the center of the oven and cook for 30 to 40 minutes until the dough is deep golden brown.
Expert Tips
- Don’t rush browning the mushrooms—the flavor payoff is huge.
- If your phyllo tears, don’t panic. Layering messy sheets still looks beautiful once baked.
- You can swap vegetable broth for chicken broth for extra richness.
- Want more depth? Add a splash of white wine when sautéing the veggies.
- To make it vegetarian-friendly, check that your phyllo dough is butter-free (many brands are).
Common Questions
Yes! Prepare the filling ahead and refrigerate it. Add the phyllo topping right before baking so it stays crisp.
Absolutely. Bake at the same temperature but increase the bake time if needed until the pastry is fully golden.
You can freeze the cooked pie. Reheat in a 350°F oven until hot and crisp again.
Storing Instructions
Store any leftover mushroom pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the phyllo crisp (the microwave will soften it, but it will still taste great). The cooked pie can also be frozen and reheated later—just bake until warmed through and flaky on top.
