Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 10 ounces Fresh mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar-sized baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme, and cook for 8–10 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and milk until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Spread the cooked mushroom mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie dish.

Step 6

Carefully pour the batter over the mushrooms, ensuring it evenly covers the filling. The batter will puff significantly as it cooks, creating the signature popover texture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly domed, and the center is set.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Cut into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!
