Ingredients

Servings

1.25 cups All-purpose flour
8 tablespoons Cold unsalted butter ((1 stick), cubed)
0.5 teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Cold water (3-4)
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 medium Yellow onion (thinly sliced)
10 ounces Cremini (or button) mushrooms (sliced)
4 cups Fresh spinach
2 cloves Garlic (minced)
3 ounces Goat cheese (crumbled)
1 large Egg (for egg wash)
Black pepper (to taste)
1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add cold butter and mix with a pastry cutter or hands until pea-sized crumbs form.

2. Add cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.

3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onions and cook 10-12 minutes until golden and caramelized.

4. Add mushrooms and sauté until softened and any liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, cook 1 minute. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Remove from heat; cool slightly.

5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch round. Transfer to parchment-lined baking tray.

6. Spread mushroom-spinach mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with crumbled goat cheese.

7. Fold dough edges up over filling, pleating. Brush pastry with beaten egg.

8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
