Why is this Mushroom Pie is easy and great!
This mushroom pie recipe is hassle-free. You don’t need an oven to make it. You can cook it in a frying pan on a stove. We are using a pan with a diameter of 28 cm or 11 inches. The rest of the utensils you will have at hand. It’s a bowl, a sieve, a spatula, a knife, a cutting board, a fork or a whisk, a plate, and parchment. Everything you need is right at home. So, let’s start cooking!
Mushroom Pie Recipe: Hacks and Tips
Add oil to a frying pan. Chop the onion and fry until transparent, about 4 minutes. Cook on medium heat; we used seven out of nine on our stove.
This mushroom pie recipe uses button mushrooms, but you can use any. If the mushrooms are firm, use the caps and remove the stems. Chop the mushrooms into cubes. Aim for not too big or small pieces, around 5-7 mm. Or 1/4 to 1/3 inch in size.
Add chopped mushrooms to a frying pan. Don’t add all the mushrooms at once; add them bit by bit. Don’t worry if the amount of mushrooms looks large. Mushrooms shrink down a lot during cooking. Sprinkle with spices.
In the meantime, prepare the batter. Mix eggs and buttermilk. Sift whole wheat flour. After sifting, you will see some grains left in the sieve. This is bran; add it back to the flour. Add sifted flour, salt, and baking powder. Combine dry and liquid ingredients.
Simmer the mushrooms in a pan until they start to turn brown. Press down on the mushrooms with a spatula or potato masher. Switch the cooking mode to medium. Once all the water has evaporated, pour in the batter. Pour batter over the mushrooms and spread evenly. Cover the pan tightly with a lid. It takes about 20 minutes for the batter to bake. Place parchment paper over the pan, then find a plate that fits perfectly inside the pan. Put the plate over the parchment paper and mushroom pie. Then, flip everything together. Carefully lift the parchment paper from the edges and transfer the pie back into the pan.
Sprinkle with cheese and your favorite greens. We like green onion or parsley. Cover and cook for 10 minutes with the parchment paper still in the pan. Now, you’ll have the crust at the bottom, mushrooms, tasty melted cheese, and greens on top. Transfer the pie to a plate and remove the parchment to prevent it from getting damp.

Is this Mushroom Pie Recipe Vegetarian?

The base is a thick layer of mushroom filling, which is very simple to make. It consists of chopped mushrooms and onions. The pie is open, with mushrooms topped with melted mozzarella cheese. There is also a layer of whole wheat flour batter underneath. That means the pie contains protein from mushrooms, cheese, and eggs. As well as fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the whole wheat flour.

Mushroom Pie Recipe in a Frying Pan
Ingredients
For the mushroom filling:
- 1 kg mushrooms we used button mushrooms
- 200 g onion
- 50 g vegetable oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 100 g mozzarella cheese
- any greens of you choice
For the batter:
- 3 eggs
- 170 g buttermilk
- ⅓ tsp salt
- 8 g baking powder
- 120 g whole wheat flour
Instructions
- Chop 1 kg of mushrooms into 5-7 mm cubes or 1/4 to 1/3 inch in size*
- Finely chop 200 g of onion and fry it over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until transparent. Use mode 7 out of 9 on the stove.
- Turn up the heat to the highest setting. Add the chopped mushrooms bit by bit. Don’t worry if it looks like a lot at first. They’ll shrink down fast once they start cooking. Add the spices: ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp white pepper, and 1 tsp ground coriander.
- Let the mushrooms simmer until all the water cooks off and they start to turn brown. Make sure there’s no water left – it should all evaporate.
- In between, prepare the batter. Beat three eggs with a whisk. Add 170 g buttermilk and mix.
- Sift whole wheat flour through a sieve. Bran, the fine wheat grains, will remain in the sieve. Add them to the flour. Add dry ingredients to eggs and buttermilk: ⅓ tsp salt, 8 g baking powder, and 120 g sifted whole wheat flour.
- Reduce the cooking mode to 4 out of 9. Press down on the mushrooms with a spatula or potato masher. Pour the batter on top and spread it evenly over the surface. Cover tightly with a lid and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the surface of the pie is dry.
- Cover the mushroom pie with parchment paper. Place a plate on top. Using the plate, flip the pie over, then return it to the pan, ensuring the parchment paper remains at the bottom.
- Sprinkle with 100 g mozzarella cheese and any greens you choose. Cover again with a lid and continue cooking for 7-10 minutes.
- Lift the pie using the parchment paper and remove it from the pan. Then, remove the parchment to prevent the bottom of the cake from becoming damp.
