Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Mushroom Filling

Sauté onions in butter and olive oil until soft.
Add mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook until fragrant.
Stir in flour, then add vegetable broth and cream. Simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

2️⃣ Assemble the Pot Pie

Transfer the filling to a greased baking dish.
Layer and ruffle phyllo sheets on top, brushing each with melted butter.

Notes

Keep phyllo from drying out – Cover it with a damp towel while working.
Use a mushroom mix – A variety of mushrooms adds depth to the flavor.
Make it dairy-free – Swap butter for olive oil and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream.
For extra crispiness – Brush each phyllo sheet with butter before layering.
Want it cheesier? – Add some grated Parmesan or Gruyère to the filling.
