Preparation

Step 1

To make pastry:
Sift flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add diced butter and stir with a knife. Rub the butter into the flour with your finger tips, lifting the flour from the bottom up on top, until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
Add chilled water and whole egg to flour mixture until the mixture comes together into a ball. The dough should leave bowl clean.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and lightly knead by hand until smooth. Don’t over knead the dough. Roll into disc shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in fridge for about 30 minutes.
Remove the dough disc from fridge. Place on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll out into a circle, use a cookie cutter to cut into round shape to fit the mould. Trim the edge. Prick the base with a fork.
Line with baking paper and place ceramic beads, or beans, or rice on top. Transfer to the preheated oven at 200'C for blind-baking, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Egg Mixture:
Mix together the whole egg and egg yolk in a mixing bowl. Add in milk, follow with whipping cream. Run the mixture through a sieve.

Fillings:
Heat butter over medium heat. Saute bacon and cook until oil is release, add in onion and fry until golden brown in colour.
In another clean pan, add in some butter and fry oyster mushroom till golden brown, dish out. Fry button mushroom till soft and add back the oyster mushroom into the pan.
Season with some sat ad pepper, and spoon into the pie shell, top with bacon and onion.
Pour in the egg milk mixture, spread Gruyere cheese on top.
Bake in preheated oven at 200'C for 25-30 minutes.
