Instructions
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. 5-7minutes
Add potato, leek, carrot, and celery, then cook until the potato starts to soften. 3 to 5 minutes
Add garlic, flour, and thyme; stir until no flour is visible.
Stirring constantly, gradually pour in broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. 5-7 minutes
Stir in cream, salt, and pepper, then remove from heat. Taste and season as needed.
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.
Brush or drizzle butter over the dough and sprinkle sesame seeds over the butter.
Please place it in the center of the oven and cook for 30 to 40 minutes until the dough is deep golden brown.

Notes
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).
